Warm up in Kinloss, super windy and cold. Was hoping to do more but didn't feel that great

Kinloss to Lossiemouth half marathon. Planned to run it around marathon pace but the massive tailwind meant most of it was a lot faster without being very hard. My legs were turning over quite well but I felt terrible on anything where the intensity increased, still not breathing well after the cold. Struggled on the uphills and lost time to Kenny but caught him on the faster parts so we had a bit of a battle until the end. I couldn't get going on the finish straight in to the wind and got passed in the final 80m. Couldn't race it properly which was fine as the plan was always to run within myself although it was tempting to try and run a fast wind assisted time, Kenny ran a 2min PB and some guys ran 7min PBs! Hopefully will feel better in a few days as it was not pleasant.
Road Running warm up/down 37:35 [2] 8.23 km (4:34 / km) +50m 4:26 / km
Cool down around town. Legs a bit battered from the wind assisted splits but otherwise fine.
