Race day. Just about the worst conditions: near 100% humidity, no breeze, and the fog burned off by 8:30 or so (race started at 7AM). I totally died by about mile 10.
Lots of people were doing what I was doing: mixing running and walking. Races/results like this are a real wake-up call: It’s obvious that more work is needed, and to be out in the daytime as much as possible.
Today’s race was the Mad Marathon in Vermont. Pace was a terrible 11:16.
