I knew I should not have gone from the time I woke up.
I thought I was at the end of my cough/flu/bug thing but when I woke up I had a headache and felt worse for ware. Being a stubborn male I decided to go anyway. It had to be below freezing temps and when I got there and opened the car door the cold hit me. Ouch it was cold. Tank girl said she checked local weather observations and it was 2deg. Better than zero !
The start of the race was nice, no hassles or pushing. At about 15k I was siting in about 8th place doing 5:15pace. This is when I could feel in my chest a slight discomfort, and to top it off I see a guy running back at me!. He tells me we have gone the wrong way !?!?. So we turn back and run to the intersection. Nope no markings on either track, no arrows, no tape nothing. Oh crap!
We head up the other track for a while till we hit a crossing. No foot prints on either side. Oh crap! We head back oh look someone is running towards us. That's when my heart sank and I gave up! F#ck I wanted to have a good run !
Any way to cut a long story short I did get lost one more time and as Garmin said 39.25k in a 33k race!
Bugger!
