Run
Comments: First race ever with ipod. A must for not training. early start 6AM runnin in the dark pretty neat. good tunes U2, Audioslave, janes addiction, Em, Beasties, Ike Reilly. tunes from 6 for 6. alarm, everlast etc. Gasparilla pirate theme arrrggh. Fire jugglers, guys on stilts, wenchs (some hot) normally I would kill a mime. but the one on the course had an imaginary rope pulling me forwrd. pretty f'ing funny. stop to stretch by horse corral and horses were running for fun by themselves pretty interesting watching runners. one stretch of walking met a guy doing midnite sun in alaska this year. heidi met up with me at mile 21. good to see her I was struggling. we ran together up long section along water. very windy 20-25 MPH. all head wind. like I needed more reason to drop f bombs. like I ever need a reason to drop f bombs. What would you do differently?: NOT RUN IN ASICS GEL-KINETICS. dog shit shoes. Post race
Warm down: 2 michelob ultras at post race party What limited your ability to perform faster: lack of training, sos. same old story Event comments: Good race, decent course, f'ing awsome medal, marginal hotel location. Last updated: 2008-02-11 12:00 AM

Woke up at 4AM ate CLif Bar (choclate Chip) and a banana. Did not get alot of sleep. 3+ hours tops. I am mocked for lack of training and rightfully so. but this one took the cake. like 30 miles the last 3 months
