So I had no expectation on how this race would go. When I woke up and got ready I really was not feeling too good. I eat my oatmeal and felt a bit better, but as I drove to the start I was eating a banana and my tummy started to churn a bit. The race was not too bad it started to rain pretty good right from the start, it got a bit windy and towards the end I was getting a bit cold. I needed to stop at a port-a-john at about mile 13. Shortly after that I started to try and pick people off, you know the game. So the first was a little girl with a pink scarf that was hanging out the back of her jacket... it looked like a pink tail. Then a big guy... then the guy that kept walking... I can't remember how many I got, the last one was an older guy, his name is Bill, but I was unable to get him. I was happy with the second place in my age division. The first place lady was way ahead of me. I will have to see where I am at on the cumulative results. I'll update when they post them. After the race I eat a couple of orange slices...stretched, then ran until the gamin reached 20 miles :) I got up the nerve to intoduce myself to His Majesty Walter! He was overall winner of the 30K and the cumulative races! Congratulations!
