(me in back - pink shirt and black skirt)
Well...Saturday's race was difficult. I can't think of any better word. With 90 degrees and 50% humidity, I honestly thought my chest was going to cave in. What didn't help was that I did not wear my Garmin (I was worried about the water), so I had no real indication of how bad it really was, so I believe it was a lot of mental stuff going on as well. However, many people commented on the temperature and the lack of "splash zones" (and the water stations had very warm water), so I don't think that I am just being a sissy. Well, maybe I am. So, all I can do is learn from this experience. What I have learned is that I need to learn to run in this heat. I will start off with one mile, then progress from there. I have a race in the middle of August with Tyler, and I must be prepared. I will overcome this.
