Notes
very WARM day for a race...topped off at about 85 degrees...route was an out and back. slight rolling hills course with a small rail trail and an old railroad bridge. paced around 8:00 min/mile early..i knew it was going to get warm..gradually got to be over 8:00 min/mile. felt ok and didn't push towards end. knew cramps would come up if i pushed real hard. thought about Bob Potts Marathon in two weeks......overall, ok with race time. wanted 3:25 time.....disappointed with how race was organized...lack of support at water stations, warm water, knowledge on course seemed lacking.....seemed like a 1/2 marathon event only. more than 2/3's of racers were 1/2 marathoners...didn't receive medal until hrs later...(Caryn gave it to me). Didn't receive an award after getting 1st in age group and 5th overall...(we were at Danville Spring Fling craft fair and went back for award a few hrs later...they said they gave all the awards away!)
