Pre-race routine:

Drove up to Baltimore with Megan (buppjr) and got our packets before the race. Walked back to the car and got ready for the race. Went to the bathroom twice and then walked to the Start.

Event warmup:

Started up front with all the fasties and did a decent job of positioning myself.

Comments:

Run started out well, tried to keep a good pace and I definitely went out wayyy too fast. The wind was around 20-25 mph which killed when a majority of the climbs had the wind straight in your face. The second loop was super tough with this hill that cam out of no where. Longer then #*#3 and windy too. Needless to say I was absolutely DEAD after this. Came down to a down hill and then a small straight away till the end with the last hill again. Chugged up the hill and came across the finish line DEAD tired.

What would you do differently?:

Possibly run more the last few months and also not have the flu two days before hand.

Post race

Warm down:

Got two cups of water and waited for Megan to cross the finish line. She came in a little later and then we walked over to the Church to get some food and warm up. Drove home and relaxed for the rest of the day. No gym considering the run was harder then expected.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Maybe the wind, and the hills too. Oh yeah also that whole Flu situation too two days before hand.

Event comments:

Great little small race put on for a charitable fund. Will do again next year.
