Run
Comments: I loved it. This is the longest running race I have ever done--both in miles and in time spent running. The mud made it really tough, but having to navigate through it and flail around and be careful made the time and miles fly by. What would you do differently?: Longer run toward the end of training, but I pretty much nailed every workout on my training plan and felt good physically. I'd love to be able to run up the hills someday, but this time I just hiked/fast walked and hit my 15 min/mile goal. Post race
Warm down: Had some hot soup, hot coffee, changed clothes, and had a beer. Still freezing, so went a few miles up the road to the YMCA and took a long hot tub, which helped significantly! What limited your ability to perform faster: My own personal mega fat ass!!! Although I felt I did good enough for my first time. I can't wait to do more. I really can't wait! Maybe on a dry course, it was sooooo rainy today--major deluge the entire time. I wore a compression tank, t shirt, arm warmers, raincoat, capris, gloves and visor, and that was fine.

Up early, got to the race site while it was still pitch black--got the race number, hit the potty and waited in the car until 10 min before race time. Ate Sport Legs 1 hr prior and a gel about 10 min before the start.
Nada, gonna be a long day!
