Sunday.
Well, not much to write about. I noted in my previous race report four weeks ago that due to a overloaded work schedule, I'm not training much. To add to my problems, I developed a cold the previous weekend.
Too bad, this is my favorite local event. I've finished in the top 10 the previous two years, placing in my age division both times. Today, I was just getting in a training run.
Weather not too good-about 58 degrees with 90% humidity at the start. The gun fired and we were off. By mile three, I was sweating pretty good. By mile five I was soaked in sweat and having trouble breathing. I step off the course and decided to quit.
About a minute later, I started jogging. At mile six I stopped again and just wanted to walk back to hotel. I decided to try to make it at least the first lap and get in a half marathon.
I made to mile 10 Ok, but slowed bit by bit each mile. After 10, I had to walk run the remaining three. I finished the first lap, half-marathon, in 1:56 and called it a day. The sun was coming out and I knew a second lap wasn't going to happend unless I walked most of it. Not much value in that.
Well, it happens.
