Comments: I kept it slow through the first 7, then figured I'd go out and truly put in a best effort 10k to the finish. I knew the hills only got tougher, but I thought I had saved enough. I was wrong. It was ridiculously humid and in the high 60s today, and it sapped me. By mile 11 I was cooked and my pace was near a crawl. What would you do differently?: Run the race the weather gave me. I had trained in 30-40 degree temps, so today was a shock. However, I live in Mississippi so I knew better and should have respected the conditions more. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Beer, pizza, whining about how tough it was out there. What limited your ability to perform faster: The weather and me letting my weight get back up to 10-15 pounds over my ideal race weight. Event comments: Despite the weather, this race has done a fantastic job in the two years they have held it. The threat of storms kept the musicians off the course, so that was a bummer, but understandable. It's just a really well organized and fun event with a really tough course that happened to have a double whammy of some major humidity today. Last updated: 2008-09-18 12:00 AM

Hot shower to loosen up. Few sips of gatorade. Drive in, park, go to the line.
A quick jog and a late trip to the porta potty. Heard the national anthem (guitar solo) from the john.
