Comments: Winner did it in around 38+, same with the womens winner, 38+. Now that would have been interesting to see. It was humid, they had two water stations at 3 and 5 miles. Small cups, felt like it was enough. Did have thoughts that I was running out of energy around the 5 mile area. Should have carried one GU/Honey stinger pak???? What would you do differently?: I wore my LasVegas marathon long sleeve cotton shirt. Got soaked from sweat and my left nipple got a little irritated. Should have brought second shirt, singlet or need to get a TECH shirt. More track workouts, speed work. Mileage is not that high this summer. More time has been spend on riding and swimming, and not on quality run workouts. Or maybe I'm just a year older? And should just be happy with outcome. Post race
Warm down: Felt ok after finish. Somewhat deflated about not breaking an hour. Physically tired but wasted. Ate some Fig Newton bars an some bread and drank some bottled water. Than ran back to the start, where I was parked. Kept my HR at 150 or less, Took me 72+ minutes to get back. What limited your ability to perform faster: Not enough training miles, not enough of interval/speed training. Felt like I lost a lot of time on the 2 steep sections. Should have eaten alittle more before run. Had one GU with 10oz of water 15 minutes before start. Event comments: I will probably do it next year, it will be about 2 weeks after IMCDA, but will run in back and take dog along. He was so ticked off at me, when I left him. He had 4 pairs of my shoes scattered in his bed and around the floor. I can live with it. Kept thinking that it was nothing but a training run for my Olympic Tri race in August. But still the competitive juices do flow. Last updated: 2005-05-22 12:00 AM

Up early to have oatmeal and coffee. Slept good, watched TDF. Early morning Rain. Not sure what to wear. Dog was anxious to go with me, knows what I'm doing and what I'm wearing.
Did easy stretches at home watching TDF. Ran up to a half mile, got heart rate up to 160 a couple of times. Made 4 trips to restroom. Even one last quickie, since they were waiting for people to show up.
Felt good and loose, no pains, aches or worries.
