OMG was it hot!! And as if hot wasnt enough the sun beating down on you made it ten times worse. Zooma was supposed to be a race that starts out at the Navel stadium goes through Annapolis for about 2 miles, over the Navel Acadamy Bridge and onto the B&A trail for about 4 miles where its flat and shaded.......nope!!! Race day I find out they change the course. Fun times. Over the bridge, up some more hills to the trail, only on the trail for about 2 miles, and back over the bridge! WHAT??? Ok so very hot and now ALL hills. I found this very sick. I started the race and by mile 1 was sweating and had thrown in the towel. Mentally I quit. Walked and ran in the hot sun, pouring water over my head at every water stop until I hit the 10 K mark. I looked at my watch and asked myself what the hell was I doing???? Started halling ass. I kept pouring water over my head (2 cups over my head and 1 in my mouth). My watch started beeping and quit working so I had no idea where I was miles or time so just kept running. Finished in 1:56:26. Only took 2 1/2 minutes off of my PR but hey at least I ran LOL. Makes me wonder what I can do on a flat cool day.
