So the positives in this race was I PRed big time over last years time (14 min) I didn't slow down as much as I did last year (I did struggle the last 3 big time though. I actually new I was not going to have that great of a race at about mile 6 my vision was going all blurry/wavey at this point and it was allready hot. I thought at this point I would have to pull out because I was light headed, I was so mad because my leg felt great. I took some power aid to see if it was my blood sugar and about 3 miles later my vision was clear again and never did that again. I am happy with my time but not happy at the same time. I know I should have been faster, but with the way I felt and the heat this is what I ended up with.
I started the race with Michelle, MacK, and Cal. Michelle was gone within 20 seconds and I took a pit stop at mile one and cought back up with Cal and MacK with in a half mile. MacK had to stop and stretch her calves and didn't see her again until about mile 7. So I ran with Cal until about 10 and then he left me. The first 8 or so felt super comfortable, only had my vision problem. Then the roller I really felt like I ran them smart. Got to 18 and I just couldn't push the down hill like I wanted IT WAS SURVIVAL. I finished feeling sick and like I was going to pass out and felt like that for about an hour. I feel fine now, leg are not sore I feel like I ran an easy 20 miler which upsets me. I wanted my leg to be trashed. But what do you do.
