drove down last night and slept over at bertram's house in order to run the race this morning. went to a party but didn't drink at all, the Augustana guys really like to party hard lol; I don't understand how they can run so fast. had a horrible night of sleep, no A/C, humid as hell, and i slept on a not so great futon. when i woke up in the morning i was so thirsty but there wasnt much water in the house. bertram didnt sleep any more than an hour, so he decided not to run the race. caught a ride down to the race with a few augustana runners and warmed up with a big group of them. was sweating balls at the start line and could already tell it was going to be a bad race for me. first mile was all uphill and i kept getting stuck behind groups of people. spent too much energy getting around them and trying to move up the hill. by the halfway point my legs were dead and i was so dehydrated. made it to the half way point in 21:11, near where i wanted to be. the rest of the race minus the last mile was all uphill and i was just exhausted. i watched as 50-100 runners passed me and i was still going as fast as i could. for some reason my time does not anywhere near justify the effort i was putting in. oh well, i'll count it as more of a tempo/easy run. cooled down afterwords by myself and caught a ride back to the house. legs are dead
