Comments: I had no idea that Erie even HAD a hill, much less a monster like THAT thing I ran today. Thank God this was only a 'B' race for me. Holy cow, I've been doing hill repeats, on a 200 meter hill - I either need a longer hill, or start doing like 50 repeats per session. I saw a LOT of people get humbled on that beast. What would you do differently?: Bring a big freakin' dog and a skateboard for the uphill. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Found my friend Larry, slammed some water, then jogged to my truck for my PowerAde, more water, and some carbs. More stretching after Lynn crossed the line (she ran her first 10K in 1:08:05 210/222). What limited your ability to perform faster: A freaking 2 mile long MONSTER hill! I swear they transported this sucker from Nepal to Erie... Event comments: 2 water stations on the whole route - I opted NOT to carry any liquids, as I figured they'd have at least 3 or 4 stations. No massages, I didn't hear any instructions before "Ready, set, GO!" Obviously, I had played my cards wrong for this race - I went out, hard, and held it until that hill. Every other race has had very minor hills in comparison, and I gambled and missed my goal. Deep down, I knew that I would need to include more hills in my training, but most of the little town of Erie is flat. Except this course. One more hard-learned lesson in the training book...
