Notes
It was thundering at 6 and pouring at 7. Then it all let up as I left about 7:20. I still got my feet wet immediately. Not because of any puddles, though, but because I didn't secure my water bottle and it was leaking out of my backpack (I was running 1.5 mile to the start line). Thankfully, due to the rain, I had wrapped my shoes, etc. in a garbage bag and they were protected.
WU: 3 miles total. 1.5 to the start and then grabbed my number and changed shoes. Then a 1 mile tempo to wake my legs up. Not sure if that worked as I felt quite heavy and slow while managing a 6min mile. I through in some strides and got to the start line. It was clear I would have my way with the field as long as I could finish.
CD: 2 miles total. A 1/2 mile jog around before awards, then 1.5 back home carrying a pint glass (I decided not to carry the beer). I thought about adding on since it was a cooler, overcast day, but opted not to.
