OMG, you guys. WORST 10K EVER.
Also my first.
Not sure if it's this unseasonably hot everywhere right now, but in WI it certainly is. The average at this time of year would be maybe 45? or so. This morning for my 10k it was somewhere close to 80?, HUMID and full sun for basically the entire course.
And they still had the water stations spaced as though it was normal weather, so the first one wasn't until like mile 3. I was so dehydrated afterwards that even with taking 3 cups of water at the race, a 20 oz lemonade on the way home, another 12 oz glass of water when I got home and then ANOTHER huge lemonade about hour later, I still didn't have to pee until more than 3 hours after the race.
It was just awful. I did a 5 miler at Thanksgiving and my average pace today was almost 2 full minutes slower, FOR REAL.
Based on my regular runs, I was expecting to finish in about 1:06:xx. My time according to my Garmin was 1:18:xx.
I guess the bright side is that my next one can't possibly be worse. lol
Re: OMG, you guys. WORST 10K EVER.
I did finish, and I wasn't last.
It's hard not to be disappointed, though.
very, very true. But heat is just something you really can't screw with in a race, it's unbelievable how much it takes out of you.
glad you finished though and survived!

Yikes, I'm sorry, that sucks!
Yes, the heat is a run killer for sure. I never expect any PRs when it's hot out, my body just doesn't respond well to that.
At least you finished, and you know you can definitely get a better time next time!
