Run didn't go well. First mile was fine at 6:43, a bit slower than I had intended, but okay. Once we got onto that gravel road I started to have trouble (the sun was hurting my eyes and there were too many reflective surfaces). Felt myself slowing down, but I didn't want to really go fast because I was worried I would run out of energy. After race my vision clouded and I tipped over because if I don't hydrate enough and my eyes start to hurt from sunlight, my blood pressure drops. I'm not quite sure what sunlight has to do with it, but it does for some reason. It was also really dusty, and I got a lot of dead grass and dirt in my eyes. Last thing, try as I might, I could not get "Total Eclipse of the Heart" out of my head, which probably slowed me down a bit
