Run
Comments: running hard hurts, im not built for it...lol, i am way better off racing HIMs where i can run 8:30's, not under 7's...anyways pushed a little too hard the first mile i think because i was feelin it already but there werent any mile markers out there...which drives me nuts. slowed down a little bit on the way back south on the opposite side of the lagoon. saw the leader of the race following the pink harley when i had a little under a mile to go i think which is just gross...how can i lose by a mile on a 3.1 mile race lol? started to pick it up a little once i saw him and then saw my buddy joe heading at me in the opposite direction and he was really kicking ass!! and he ended up taking 13th which is awesome. held a pretty constant fast pace the last .75 mi and passed a bunch of people without being passed and then kicked it in hard once i hit the last turn and was pumped when i looked down at my watch and saw under 21:30!! fockkkkkkk yeaaaaaaaah! What would you do differently?: maybe take the first mile a little easier? but not much, im really happy with this and taking 54th out of 700 something is sweet!! Post race
Warm down: mmmm great spread. panera bread bagels, caribou coffee bars, bananas, gatorade, vitamin water, good stuff!! hung out with the Marquette team that i was on to support one of the exercise science faculty members that currently has breast cancer. Event comments: Great race and nice to see SO MANY PEOPLE out there to support a really great cause! are you happy now sneaky pete? :D Last updated: 2007-09-14 12:00 AM

woke up at 730 to figure out where i needed to go to find my chip and then showered and found my stuff and stepped over my passed out roommates on the floor of our living room and headed out. the run started downtown but i left kind of late and decided to drive down which ended up taking a while to find parking but it was nice to drive back :D
jogged 6 blocks from car to northwestern mutual building, found my chip, streched, jogged, chocoooooolate gel 3 min before race start
