Comments: I kind of went with the flow for the first half mile as things spread out a little. After that made the turn towards the west and directly into a head wind. This is where things opened up and I could get into a nice pace. Finished the first mile right at 8:00 min/mile. I thought Dexter was still with me when we turned into a nice neighborhood, but it was someone else with a similar wind jacket. After the second mile I realized I had let my pace slip some, but the time in the head wind had taken its toll and I didn't have a lot left to pick it up to where I had wanted to. All in all, considering the wind, and I did set a PB so I am happy. I had also made the right choice in the number of layers. What would you do differently?: Other than continue the training and weightloss for next year, not much. ![]() Post race
Warm down: I met up with Marmadaddy and cheered Dexter in. I guess he had a wardrobe malfunction that set him back a little. Went inside to warm up and chatted with Kam, Robert, Marmadaddy, Dexter, and Brad. Nice folks, I enjoyed the morning. What limited your ability to perform faster: Condidering where I was a year ago (fitness and healthwise), nothing. Event comments: I think the check in process could have been smoother, otherwise not bad. Last updated: 2006-11-04 12:00 AM

I woke up about 5:30 and had some coffee and oatmeal. Picked up Dexter at 7:30 and made the 40 minute drive to Brighton. The packet pickup lines were long and slow, plus you had to stand in 2 lines to complete the process, and that was if you were pre-registered. Debated how many layers to remove as it was fairly cool, but sunny and the wind was blowing about 25mph steady.
Unless you count standing in line and then searching for a rest room a warm up, not much was done. Did some stretching was about it.
