Run
Comments: This hurt the whole time. Was not a fan. I realize that a race of this distance is suppose to hurt but I wasn't expecting to feel this bad for this poor a finishing time. Oh well. I was suppose to run 100 mile race last week so I guess I can't complain too much about the time. I'm not exactly trained for speed. Overall Place 122 / 877 Gender Place 18 / 426 Division Place 1 / 48 What would you do differently?: Start slower. Maybe listen to the pre-race music a little lower. My ferret on crack heart was a little too pumped up. Get a foot pod for my Suunto so I have somewhat of an idea of pacing. Had I started at 6:45 I probably could've held it, may have probably been able to pick it up toward the end...maybe. Post race
Warm down: Jogged back to the car, 10 minutes or so and sat around waiting for the awards. Chatted with Curegirl, her man and the pups. What limited your ability to perform faster: Ultra marathon training and my inability to pace myself correctly. Or maybe just me. Is it just me? Can I be my own limiting factor? Event comments: This is an awesome race with great awards. Will do it again for sure, but I will try and remember that tricky finish!! I've not logged a race in a while but maybe I need to in order to learn from mistakes. Yeah, like I'll ever learn....;) I should be happy with this time. I should be happy with this race under my belt. There are many people that are not able to do races at all. Sometimes I lose sight of that fact. Last updated: 2008-07-01 12:00 AM

Drove an hour to the race drinking a Rockstar Juiced (what? It's 50% juice, totally healthy) and eating Peanut Butter Crunch. I also enjoyed some pre-race urban contemporary music.
Jogged around on and off for 45 minutes did a few pick ups. Had a decent glow about me (read-was sweating) Felt ready.
