This run was last Friday night and started at 11:59 pm. Before the run, I also had soccer practice for my daughter's team. This started at 7 and ended around 8:15. After practice, I headed home to eat some supper and try to take a nap. I was able to rest for about an hour before I had to get up to go to the race.
No issues pre-race. I ran into one of my old bosses and a couple of friends from the area. I could not belive how much this race has grown. There were almost 700 runners.
Overall craptastic race. I ran the first mile way too fast for my slow ass. I ran like a race rookie, but I did finish and that was my only goal for the race. I was very surprised at the number of runners that were wearing cotton shirts. That had to suck in that weather. When I added the run to bimactive, it told me that the actual humidity during the run was 96%. WTF!! 96%! No wonder I was sweating so much. So my offical excuse for sucking ass in the race is the humidity. Hey, I will take what I can get.
Going to try to post a picture now and see what happens.
