Comments:

Run was ok for me. It was slotted as training for me so this was not a 'race' so to speak. Still got a respectable time in those crowds and the hot conditions this year. I got to see my girls on the course and that was nice. I stopped and chatted with them a bit. Keegan was telling me about her mole on her shoulder. It was an interesting exercise in patience as I wanted to see and talk to her, but I also wanted to get back out there and run. Still, it was great to see them.
What would you do differently?:

Hydrate more. I had some problems the rest of the day because of that oversight. At one point post race, I put 80 onces of water into me and that still wasn't enough to generate more than a little outflow.
Post race
Warm down:

Headed over to the Get Fit tent for some beer and socializing. Always a good time.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Was not racing. Was training.

Event comments:

The Peachtree Road race is always a highlight on the calander. However, this year will be my last until the 2008 race. I am going to take 2007 off. I'll still register 'just in case', but I feel that it would be best if I spent my 4th differently next year. It's one of my faviorite holidays of the year, so it's time to treat it like that.
