Notes
1. those shoes suck suck suck. So uncomfortable. Also achilles are super aggravated. I'm not sure that's the shoes as opposed to running the hills hard however.
2. I gave it a great effort but not all out. There were opportunities to really red line and I just didn't have it.
3. The humidity was obscenely oppressive.
4. 5 hours of sleep the night before and some major shits + pre-sinus infection symptoms for 2+ days had me feeling rough and probably short of electrolytes.
5. pre-race margarita shot was awesome.
6. post race marg shot was better
7. Damn this place is hillier than I remember, especially the interpretive trail.
8. I should have trusted Steve when he said Michael was just ahead and really pressed but oh well.
9. legs felt rough from about mile 1... not a great sign but also means that I should be able to do something special if I ever taper.
6th overall and 4th in my age group??? ugg bad luck, the big MP got 3rd place M 30-45 over me by about 90 seconds.
