Run
Comments: I honestly think that running is pure torture. Mile 1 marker was very elusive, but even worse was trying to get to mile marker 2! After that, I finally felt warmed up... oops. While the third mile was slightly uphill, it didn't feel THAT terrible I suppose. Just because during my final mile I felt that death was the only way out of the race, doesn't mean I ever walked. That was my only goal really. Never to walk. So many people though! What would you do differently?: I would warm up. With so many people, I felt the need to get ahead of as many as possible to not get mixed up with the rif-raf. Of course, that meant I started out way too fast so by the end I was going way too slow.

Warm down: uh, again, not so good at this. It basically consisted of visiting all the shwag and food tents on the way back to my car, hello, I paid for that right? What limited your ability to perform faster: ha ha ha Training??? Event comments: Like I said, a LOT of people! Last updated: 2006-11-23 12:00 AM

Morning bowl of Grape Nuts and vanilla yogurt! And sucked on a Power-Ade until I checked in. Note to self - always choose WHITE or CLEAR drinks, because I am a clutz and I will always spill. So many people!!!
A whole lot a nothin. I have no idea how to warm up for a run. Basically, I stood around watching everyone and then pushed my way up toward the front and waited for go. Soooo many people. They said over 9700 people.
