Comments:

The first mile felt pretty good. Ran with jim for about a mile and a half and had to let him go. The hills were killing me and I felt out of breath and out of shape. At mile two I hit a wall like never before in a race. I had to slow way down as to not have to walk. I had to tell myself over and over not to walk. Defenitlly my worst race physically and mentally.
What would you do differently?:

Lots more hill work and get to the gym and get on the weights. No cliff bar that soon before the race. I think it upset my stomach. Need running wind proof shirt. I ran with a hooded sweat shirt and it was causeing me to over heat.
Post race
Warm down:

Stopped with exhaustion.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

poor planning for the race. need structure.

Event comments:

Ran out of shirts!! would have liked to had one.

Eric, I know it wasn't your best race but I am suprised you went.  After Friday's weather and not pre-registering I am not sure I would of gone.  However you did go and you ran, that is more than most people would even consider.  Great job and you finished strong.  We have plenty of time to work on those hills.

By the way Three Rivers Running Co., has extra shirts available.
