I was very tired and my stomach was not right. I wanted to stop and walk but it was only 3 miles so what the heck.

Walked around because I was feeling pretty crappy. My right calf was cramped so I tried to stretch that out. Ate a banana and 1/2 a beer.

My weight, my prerace routine.

This was a fun, small, race good for out of towners. People were extremely nice and the NOTC team was extremely hospitable!

So I can't tell if this was a good race for you or a bad race.  Did you enjoy it at least?
