Just to let you all know that the race started 1 hour late, I was running in a costume that was very confining, and I felt pretty aweful the whole race. But I did have parts that I had fun and it was fun up at the start hanging out in the lodge and chatting with people. It was a cold morning so I didn't venture out for a warmup, just started the race. I was feeling like my fuel and fluids where gone and the water stops where no good for getting water, the cups where bad and the cold made it hard to hold on to the cups. The first 4.5 where a steep down and then you have a little bit of up hill before you get on the path for a nice gentle down hill. 1-6:09 2-6:06 3-5:59 4-6:20 5-6:42 6-7:24 I felt the worst through 5.5-7. I wanted to stop and be done, really I did I saw my mom and almost turned back and got a ride. I feel like I am running a 10 min mile and am a little light headed. 7-7:34 8-7:12 starting to feel better. 9-7:22 10-7:17 See JeffL and was glad to have him to carry me in. 11-7:27 12-7:31 13-6:54 I am not disappointed because I felt pretty bad and thought I was going to end up running a 1:40 so a 1:30 was a lot better. *update-so it looks like they didn't get Mary ann in the results so that bumped me down a spot ending up with 5 place overall and 2nd in my age group.
