Comments: Felt great! Got to mile 18 and they were diverting everyone to busses, said the race shut down, that they had barricaded the finish line and were taking down all the aid stations. Only 8 miles to go! So upset, crying. What would you do differently?: Nothing! Nailed the nutrition, felt great! So upset they cancelled the race, but I knew I couldn't go 8 miles without water as they said they were taking down the aid stations.  Post race
Warm down: Had passed Steve just before the half, knew he was behind me so was waiting for him to get to mile 18. Grabbed a few cups of water and started walking the course backwards to meet him but he didn't show. After an hour figured he had gotten on a bus at an earlier aid station and took the shuttle back to lambeau. Checked the finish line but couldnt find anyone! Out of our 5 rooms, we had managed to keep 1 till 1pm so went back to that room, everyone was waiting except dave Markweiss and Dave Adams who were still on the course. Showered, changed. When they got back we checked out and went to the finish line to get our food and beer...got the last brats but they were already out of beer. Went to bar across the street from the hotel for apps and beer. Drive home, eat dinner at Tailgators then drop Steve off. What limited your ability to perform faster: Uh, that the race was cancelled! Event comments: We do this race every year and the weather is so unpredictable! Last year it was 50s with a monsoon wind and I froze! This year it was so hot they called it! Bummer that everyone either diverted to the half or came back on the shuttles, finish line was open and turns out they kept the aid stations up as well. Would have gone for it had I known. Sucked that all the food and beer was gone at the finish line as well. Last updated: 2011-10-22 12:00 AM
