Got up bright and early but had to wait a few minutes for the rain to slow. I didn't really want to run the first few minutes of my 18 miler in a downpour. This is much harder of a route than my first 18 miler of this cycle with lots of long hills, similar to the Newton hills on the Boston course. Once I got out I felt ok at most times, great for a little while, and bad only a few miles.
The main thing is that is done and I can rest tomorrow if I want, which I think I will... Off to play with the kids or clean or something like that. Good luck to you racers out there!
