Comments:

run was good, i thought i went out kinda fast. i was worried i was gonna burn out, but i was fighting to slow down. so i said "f" it and just ran.
I was taking ice when they offered it and dumping it down my shirt. Drank a beer a little before the 4 mile mark. tried to take the gu and dropped it...dang. my knee felt really good. this was a good pre run to the freep. i'm even thinking of maybe doing brooksie. we'll see how the knee feels in the next few weeks.
What would you do differently?:

nothin

This race was a PR by 6 min. woo hoo!!

Warm down:

thought i was gonna puke. I was freezing. got a water and a banana and walked to my car. it took me about 20min to get back to my car. changed at my car sat there the with heat on for a few, decided it might be a good idea to head home.



What limited your ability to perform faster:

just fitness level, not drop my gu.

Event comments:

Race was great, i'm not sure why i was so cold when i finished. i got home and just assed right out. i'm thinking it might have been not enough calories, i'm not sure i just felt like crap. it took me a couple hours once i got home to feel better...weird.
