Can't help feeling I should have ran a little faster.<br /><br />@Linna - I'll set a date for the seance and invite you over next year! Haha!<br /><br />@Morgan - Thanks. I guess I have to be satisfied with just a NO FAIL on this one.<br /><br />@carpeviam - I tried to overcome it, but it was a beast!<br /><br />@Greg - I don't usually myself against the field so I have no clue how to compare my performance. I do wish I could have broken 1:30 though.<br /><br />@marathonmaiden - yeah, I drank a lot and still felt so dehydrated.<br /><br />@Lisa - it IS a good course! I hope you get to run it next year!<br /><br />@runningcommentaries - Didn't quite hold MP (6:50), although I wish I did.<br /><br />@J - Thanks, yeah it was a scorcher although yours must not have been pleasant either<br /><br />@Julie - Well, my 1:30 is like your 1:50 in a lot of ways. I wish I was running Napa instead though =)<br /><br />@Baker - Yeah buddy, I knew it was you!The Laminatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171521739644023071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-67530210442142119452010-07-27T11:28:14.025-04:002010-07-27T11:28:14.025-04:00lam nice race man! it was brutal out there! i was ...lam nice race man! it was brutal out there! i was the one who yelled hi to you running past at the mile 2 aid station by the way.bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15121041686660324348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956756870207703825.post-60499529861808292402010-07-26T20:46:03.635-04:002010-07-26T20:46:03.635-04:00Hi Lam,

You described the course and conditions vividly; sounds like a terrific event if the weather had cooperated, so I hope it goes better next year.
