I just started college and am a little lost without my xc and track from high school!  But I'm beginning to breach the long-distance scene, which is fantastic!

Race: Swiss Days 10k (6.2 Miles) 00:46:03, Place overall: 14, Place in age division: 2

A surprisingly good race considering I am coming off of the highest mileage of my life and the finish was a little higher than the start (well, a few inches higher) and there were a fair few hills!  

 My start was very bad because we timed the warm-up poorly and got to the back of the pack right as the race started- so it took some time to get across the line and get around a lot of people- but the good thing was, it meant that I was passing people throughout the race, and that makes a race feel pretty good.

 I got a stein for my prize!  And I went on an 8-mile cooldown with Bill and Jeremy.  Bill gave me some good advice for my marathon.  But, the cooldown felt a bit fast to me, which was fine I suppose.

I started too fast, and the last few miles of the race were resultantly terrible!

Was going to do eight.  Then thought, will it actually benefit my marathon?  Well, I don't think so.  So, I didn't do a small evening run.

Exchanged my shoes because the Nikes were hurting my feet.  Guess I am not that narrow-footed.  The run this morning went well!

Well... I finished!

 I got sick, I am not sure what it was from, but I was still sick a few days later, so I suspect it might have been the flu.  Anyway the point is, 12 potty breaks.  And I was VERY GLAD that there were port-o-pottys every mile.  I would give them 4 stars.  

By about mile 22 I had everything out of my system, hooray!  So I was hungry but it was still the best part of the whole race because I didn't feel as sick.  I was able to get up to a good pace and felt strong at the end when Bill ran with me.  

I will have to do another marathon now, because this one was all upside down... I'm pretty sure you're supposed to feel the worst at the end, but that was when I felt the best!

Got sick.  Light-headed and very sweaty, saw spots and lungs constricted a bit.  I am probably still sick, so I think I might take the next couple of days off.
