running on ice

Wednesday, October 17, 2007

it's over.

-i paid the $110 registration fee.
-i trained for 18 weeks.
-i got to the starting line.

after that, everything else was shit.

-the only aid station i approached that had fluids was the very first one.
-my pace dropped off to 14 minutes/mile because i was running off the roads to find water fountains, standing in line and begging for water from spectators and running into the white hen to buy my own bottle of water.
-i was diverted back to the finish line at mile 16, and they blocked off the streets with fire trucks so i had no choice but to go to grant park.
-the only reason i didn't drop was because of the awesome spectators in chicago who worked their asses off to get us as much water as they could.
-carey pinkowski is a douche.

that about sums it up.

i take back everything i said last year.

p.s. chuck goudie rules.
