...a little insight of what goes thru my mind in a race...
(mile 3) ...,"I am the warrior..heart to heart to win" (Patti Smith - I am the Warrior)

(Mile 7) "...ok half way there, stomach feels weird, should've ate breakfast this morning,"

(mile 10, after the wicked up hill) "...ok that was pretty nasty, just threw-up, hopefully no one saw that"

(finishline) "...stomach feels weird, Mmmm hamburger and fries, lets finish up and grab some food!!!"

..only posted a 1:30 finish time...I think with proper sleep and no puking, I would've have went below the 1:20 marker.
