I was very excited about the race for it's a fast course and a very well organized event. These were true, but that doesn't mean you can do well. I had been struggling with cold and thus I was somewhat unprepared for the race. The race day was cold with heavy rain and unstoppable headwind. I didn't expect Champaign could be that windy. hmm.. so I struggled... a lot... but finished! I think at the later miles (after 18mile?) my left calf got cramped badly that it was tough to continue running so I repeated walking and running. Hope I can run without walking on my next race at Rockford in three weeks.
<Due to the cold weather, I put back my wind jacket and felt much better>

<glad I am finished!>
<looks okay? I had to sit down and stretch for a while..lol>
