Comments:

This was the hottest race I've ever done. And considering that, I did ok. Pushed hard on the flats, but had a rough patch in the middle. Felted really swollen in the middle, stomach didn't feel good, so slowed down, took a salt tab, and then felt better after awhile. No falling. Finished super strong too.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. Maybe start a little slower, I keep up a better pace on the hills with less walking. But it was so hot, I was being cautious.

Warm down:

Eating ice, walking, trying to cool down.

HEAT

Event comments:

7/28 1-99

I moved up in the 10K series standings. Now 3rd overall female. More than 8 minutes behind 2nd place. So probably won't be able to move up again.
