Comments:
Not the best race of my life. I started out pretty reasonably and picked it up in the middle of the race. By the fourth mile the hills had taken their toll and I was feeling worse than I have ever felt in a race... and for some reason I would not listen to my body... I just kept passing people and running on my reserve energy. I give my all out on the course... that's pretty much what I did. At around the 4.5 mile point my body completely shut down and I passed out. I remember before it happened... running from one side of the course to the other... being extremely light headed... falling down and getting up like 5 times... falling off the course and breaking the tape on the sides... getting up and then falling right back through more tap and taking down a pole. Then I woke up and a bunch of people were surrounding me and when I finally realized that I hadn't finished the race I was very disappointed. I guess I was having a good race too. I need to rebound from this setback.
