First Half Marathon Race Report

[colby]

Thanks everyone! In a way the tough course made it more fun, you didn't know if it would get worse. I am giving myself time off until my chafing heals more, it is seriously nasty and with my sensitive skin I am just playing it safe. Plus my left hip is really cranky still so I just will wait. Everything else has healed just fine and I am looking for my next event.

Have you tried aquaphor to help heal the chafed skin? It has made a HUGE difference in recovering from chafing for me, when I inevitably forget bodyglide somewhere sooner or later. I put it on before bed at night, after I shower, and sometimes before work (depending on what I'm wearing) and even if a little rubs off on my clothes or whatever, it makes such a big difference in the amount of time it takes to heal.

A friend of mine used it on her son when he had bad diaper rash, so I'm guessing it might be okay even on sensitive skin.

Stretch stretch stretch, and maybe some spinning on the bike.

That time is pretty respectable..darn respectable! Nice work. I hope you are able to evaluate on the race organization - they really should want to run a better race.
