 Run
Comments: Started out the first 100 yds with Rick and Trixie, then got into my old lady pace. I was a little concerned about my lack of nutrition due to illness, but treated it as a training run and didn't worry about time AT ALL!! It was fun! There were water stations set up every mile, I drank one and wore one at each station. I ran miles 1-5 fairly comfortably walking at the water stations. Puked up my gel and cliff bar at mile 4.75, then felt good! Debated on taking my second gel, but decided to go for it. It took from miles 5.5-6.5 with some water to get it all in, but it stayed. There were a million hills that just flat out kicked my ass!! I didn't realize how freaking hard it is to run up a real hill. I ran up the first few, but my HR was so high by the top, I had to walk to slow it down. So...I walked up the majority of the hills, so I could use the downhill for speed. Worked out much better for me. My fingers were huge swollen sausages by mile 7, so it's not the heat that makes me swell!! What would you do differently?: Work hills, somewhere...  Post race
Warm down: Hung out with Rennick, Grillmaster, Trixie and Rick. Watched Trixie kick ass on the Marine pull up challenge. OMG, GI Jane has nuthin' on this chickadee!! I'm askeered!! :) Tried to stay dry through the monsoon like rain. Best of all...I got an official Mafia IZZLE!!!! WOOHOO BABY!!! What limited your ability to perform faster: I'm a hill wimp, and lack of nutrition the week before. Event comments: This was a VERY well organized and run race. There were tons of post race activities and food. AND the finishers' medals were purple which matched my race outfit perfectly!! Profile Album Last updated: 2005-08-28 12:00 AM
