What would you do differently?:

It was ridiculously hot and humid even in the morning. It hit 93 later in the day. The heat was my limiter today. I was pretty good until about mile 11, then things just fell apart! I did a lot of bargaining with myself to finish!! While my time was not what I had hoped for, I still feel like finishing running my hardest was quite an accomplishment today!
Post race
Warm down:

Had 2 bottles of water and rung my shirt out! Tom had driven down the hill to watch the finish so he drove me back up. Had more water and gatorade and some snacks.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The heat!

Event comments:

This is a fun run on the trail. The downhill the first mile is awesome! I will do this race every chance I get!
