Strong Run. Not being a January Hero here. The most annoying aspect was the piss I had to take at the beginning of the race. Mile 2 I lost about 30-45 seconds to take a leak. I started slow because of the full wad of piss I had in my tank prior to starting.

Ran negative split, 1:39 vs 1:37 for the race.

Not drink so much. Also, there was very little if NO taper prior to the race. But as I said, this race was for fun. I did a condensed MP and Tempo run this week but there was no taper in terms of overall mileage workload.

There was a massive carbo loading though for two straight days prior to the race and that is what helped me survive this race. I must have weighted around 170 lbs prior to the race. No wall came but it helped that my full tank kept me slow at the beginning of the race.

None, had to jet to the airport.


Nothing, I wasn't trying to set a world record. If anything, the fact that I had a full piss of tank in the beginning hurt me badly.


Really no fan support. But the post-race expo was FUN! Lots of food and really festive. Expo was also very VERY nice! But as for the course, it was blah-blah
