Comments: Whoof. This one was rough.
I started off a bit achy and in conditions best describe as "sauna-esque." I warmed up well enough on the first mile and had a nice little stretch early in the second mile where I was feeling pretty strong.
After that it was nightmarish.
It was the usual culprits; heat, humidity and lack of conditioning. When the sun came out on mile three I was basically in a battle to finish without walking. Which I accomplished. So there's that.
