I was supposed to do a full marathon today. However the weather was so dang hot that I knew by the 10K point that a full marathon wouldn't happen. Usually I hit the 10K point of a full marathon around 1 hour 4 minutes to 1 hour 8 minutes. It was 1 hour 15 minutes when I hit the 10K and I felt sick. The humidity was horrible and I just felt so bad. So when the race split and said half marathons go this way and full marathoners go another way I went with the half marathoners. It was a super huge struggle to even finish the half distance. I don't think I've ever felt this sick during a race, but I know heat and I don't get along. I took a few pictures before the race.
This race has a ton of food at the end of the race and plenty of support during it. I would do it again, but hope for a cooler day.
