Today's race didn't go like I had expected it to. We started out in the dark, so I didn't keep track of my splits. It got light at mile 5. I noticed my time at the 10k mark, it was 1:11 and I was already hurting. At mile 9 my whole body was aching. I was trying to run but could not go faster than a 13 minute mile. At mile 11 I started walking, that hurt too. I ran and walked as best I could for the rest of the race. My wife, who was waiting at the finish, thought that something bad must have happened and sent the medics out looking for me. I finally made it to the finish in 6 hour and 12 minutes. Unfortunately the cutoff time was 6 hours, so I am listed in the results as DNF. But the did give me a medal. I think I have some type of bug that was zapping everything I had out there today.
