Good luck, man. I know the heat and weaving around people can make it hard to get in your rhythm but you have experience on your side.

Temp and dewpoint both the same and over 70 so it was miserable before we even started. Just ran what I needed to do in order to stay in touch with the leader until we reached the 5K turnaround and I knew he was only running 5K. Just tempo effort from there on in. I had ~2min lead on 2nd at the halfway turnaround so I did not have to, and did not want to, put a lot of work into this one. I put my energy into Saturday's workout and am still recovering a bit.
36:35, 1OA.

9/3 - North Salem Old Fashioned Days 10K, North Salem, IN : <54:00 (PR is 56:59)
Not even close.
58:58
As Spaniel said, it was warm and humid. Plus, I ran into a 5K guy at the 5K turnaround and had my shoe come untied twice. Not to mention I blew up pretty good. Oh well.
Congrats to Spaniel on 1OA!

Failure - Initial thoughts in my blog
Went without watch "By feel"
exactly where I wanted to be @ 12 hours = 323 laps
started struggling by 13 hours
fought to 100 miles
Although I had severe physical limitations after 100 miles - I was mentally weak and did not maximize the mileage within those physical issues - This is where the biggest failure came -
Once mentally cashed in - All I was looking for was the win - Thank you Mr Parker Rios for making me at least put in the effort that I did - I was going to cash in at 20 hours, but he was still giving effort, so I has ass went around until 22 ish hours and then I was close enought to 200k, that I got that job done - 200,400 meters (501 laps) in 22:15
Highlight of experience was WG and Pauly and as always spending time with the super crew of the year - My wife Jill !
Need to heal my body and mind and find my confidence.
