 Run
Comments: Anyway, started the race way to fast for how I felt, running at an 8m pace with Austin and Clint! Realized early on the pace was too fast, especially the 1st mile :), kept pulling back and slowing down trying to get down around 8:30 pace. This lasted until mile 5 when everything said nope you are done! Of course I refused and kept pushing but it became a 1/4 mile walk and a 3/4 mile run. Used everything I could think of to motivate, counted steps, music, and finally calling myself some choice names to keep moving. Either way finished with a time of 2:09 which is 22m slower than Columbus! Sad part is that I had a lot fun, regardless of how I felt! I wonder if there's something wrong with me :) Splits are below and really show the drop off in performance. HR info was junk for the 1st 5 miles so no info there. Mile 1: 7:38 (whoops guess race atmosphere took over) Mile 2: 8:01 Mile 3: 8:17 Mile 4: 8:22 Mile 5: 8:55 Mile 6: 9:25 Mile 7: 10:14 Mile 8: 10:37 Mile 9: 10:12 Mile 10: 12:02 Mile 11: 12:27 Mile 12: 11:55 Mile 13: 11:33 What would you do differently?: Not get sick the night before a race  Post race

Went up on Saturday to castaway bay water park! Let the kids play for a few hours then headed out for a movie. This was when the 1st signs came on, started to feel a little sick to my stomach and my I contacts started getting itchy! By the time the movie was over my contacs felt like they're were on fire which means I was running a fever! Sara confirmed and yep 101ish! 1st thought was, this will make for an interesting run! Went back to the hotel and instead of going with the kids to the arcade I just went to sleep, through out the night I couldn't get comfortable. I was either to cold or drenched in sweat!
ran for maybe 3/4 mile then finished my Coffee. Figured I would warm-up at some point during the 13.1 miles
