Evident by the fact this post has been published, I can officially say I once again survived Illinois’ Toughest 15K race which was held this morning in an absolute downpour. I’ll save the details on today’s adventure for a future post because I need to get to the race queue before I get too far behind. As a follow up to yesterday’s post on the Illini Marathon 5K race, tonight’s post brings us the main event.
The morning after the 5K is the official Marathon, Half Marathon and 10K events. Once again opted for the Half Marathon this year as there is already a big-ass race planned for July – no need to go crazy on this one. True to course for this weekend, there were more early forecasts for cold, rain, wind … yep, the usual for late April in the Midwest. In a stroke of luck the rain moved through during the night and the rest pushed off until later that day leaving a cool but very accommodating climate for a long race.
Hit the jump to read details on the day.
