Comments:

As soon as I started I knew my legs were not feeling it. But, I pushed through hoping they would loosen up. Okay first mile, but at the 1.5 mile mark my legs felt like lead. Since my marathon is about a month away, and a bit more important to me, I pulled up for the last mile and a half. Save the legs to run another day. Sometimes you have it, sometimes you dont.

What would you do differently?:

Warm up a little more. Perhaps hydrate days before race a little better. I know I am not going to take any water in on the course, but I was pretty cotton mouthed after the first mile. I should expect the warmth, sfterall it is still August.

Warm down:

Waited for the rest of the people I was with at the finish line to cheer them in.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just one of those days.

Event comments:

As always a great race, for a great cause. I will be back next year.
