Run
Comments: I'm pretty happy with my run, considering I probably ran a total of 25 miles since October. I spent most of the time since then going in and out of various colds and sicknesses, so I've only been swimming and not running much at all. My 5-yr-old daughter ran more than I did getting ready for the Kids Marathon. Also, a big thanks to fellow BT'er benton4 for talking to me through the last couple of miles. It really made the time fly by. What would you do differently?: More hill training... no wait, just more actual training. Post race
Warm down: Walk to the car, drive to hotel, hug daughter, drink hot coffee, sit in shower. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training... although I do have to say that I'm in better shape than I thought, because I had very little pain or stiffness on Monday or Tuesday. Event comments: I had a lot of fun with this race, even though I showed up feeling like I had not studied for a tough final exam (you know that feeling, right?). I'm hoping that the course doesn't change for next year, because I'd like to do it again and compare my times. Last updated: 2006-10-15 12:00 AM

Early morning shower and small bowl of granola and flax seeds. Drank a bottle of water and headed to the race with a small cup of coffee.
Walked around for a bit, then dropped off my gear at the sweat-check table and went over to find a spot in the corrals.
