Comments:

Started the run and within half an hour had goose bumps on both arms. I had trouble keeping a jogging pace for more then a quarter mile. Did not feel ill just very worried about the goose bumps. Ended up walking for most of the 6.2 miles. Thought it was best not to die from heat stroke. Woman behind me a the finish line puked as soon as she crossed.
What would you do differently?:

Not sure there is any thing I could do differently. Should have been able to finish within 50 minutes.

Event comments:

Racing in July is off my list from now on, too hot and humid for my body.
