Well this was a most interesting run. of course we started in the rain. So it was not long before I was soaked feet and all. I started out and my HR would not go down. I dont know if it was the weather or what bu any how I was at the BOP as usual but I was doing my own thing and it did not matter. After about mile 2 I took my jacket off and tied it around my race because i was burning up and going to get drenched no matter what so that was kind of annoying the whole race. I finally walked a bit around mile 3 but aftera 3 minute walk I still did just over 12 min mile so it was not hurting too bad. I spoke with some neat people on the course as well so it helped pas the time. Since it was a out and back loop I met the leaders and they were kicking it. Man to be able to run that fast is amazing. oh well on I go. I met Chris and Shannon somewhere around the 5 mile mark and they were looking strong so I contined on through the puddles and such to the turn around. this might be a good point to mention I really have not trained for this distance this year but you ive and lear. Any way sill running for several miles then walking a bit and I realized that I could keep this up the whole time and maybe do a 230 well I dont think so after about mile 9 my feet were cold and my legs were trashed. everytime I tried to start running again it got harder. So basically I walked about 80% of the last 3 miles.. But got close to the colliseum and ran down the ramp out on the field and across the finish line!

Um train for the distance!! But no it was a good time and got me very motivate more than I have been all year.

Got some food went back to Chris and then showered and back home.
