Run
Comments: I'm a little tired from swimming 2,000 meters (for only the second time ever) yesterday. I am dieting and probably should eat more. It was very overcast but thankfully didn't rain. This course is just do damn tough because there are never-ending inclines and then super-stepp declines, and then at mile 7 is a MONSTER straight up long hill, a hill that's worse than the Cow Harbor hill - and the worst part is this hill is 7 miles into the race! What would you do differently?: I forgot to get gels. I had no gels =-( Next year I need to be lighter. At 172 I'm just too heavy to compete. Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster: No taper. Weight. Would liked to have had my gels. I did not wear my lighter racing flats due to the weather. My flats have holes in the bottom and if I hit one puddle (it rained all night) I would've had soaking wet feet. Event comments: If you are ever on Long Island and want the most challenging 15k you'll ever run, sign up for the Kings Park 15k. Aside from running straight up a mountain, I can't imagine a more difficult course. Last updated: 2008-01-02 12:00 AM
