Run
What would you do differently?: Stay warmer, the timing chip only activates when I cross the dam start line, I could have stayed out of the way and dry (like many more experienced runners did, they passed us throughout the race) Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: Kidney stones - blood at 18miles. Cold & wet Event comments: Its a good race, a fair but tough course that I feel lack of experience caught me out on. I will definitely do this race again next year but with a different training plan behind me. The photos are uploaded to show how wet & cold the dam race was, by the way I'm Irish so I should be used to running in rain, snow, cold etc. Last updated: 2005-11-04 12:00 AM
