Comments:

Ouch. I am definitely still recovering from the Mini. First mile I felt okay, but then the pain set in everywhere below the waist. My left arch is killing me, not sure what I did there, but it's been bugging me since Saturday. Getting a little muddy was fun, although now I get to clean my old running shoes. I was able to pick up the pace a little at the end and picked off a few stragglers out ahead of me that were running out of steam. Finished well enough in my age group to take home a trophy even though I definitely didn't do as well as I could have (if I wasn't still recovering).

What would you do differently?:

I wasn't really expecting to do well, just wanted to run the race. Ideally I wouldn't want to run a race like this so soon after such a hard long effort, but I'm fine with how this turned out. Humidity was very high, which was unexpected and made it a bit different.

Post race

Warm down:

Chugged a bottle of water, had a diet mountain dew, drove to Tipp City and got a Blizzard.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Running 13.1 miles 3 days ago in 1:54.

Event comments:

ORRRC does a great job with these races. They might be low key, but you passed one aid station 4 times and the other one twice, and the volunteers were great. Plus, you can't beat a $3 race with aid stations, snacks after the race, and AG awards!

Course:	2 loops around the park. Technically 2 different loops each repeated once. A 1 mile loop with a long gentle uphill section that was otherwise flat, and then a 2.5 loop around the outside of the park that went down by the creek and into a little bit of mud, and then back up that same hill, through the woods, back down by the park entrance, and up another long gentle hill to the start.
