April 28th: Muddy Moose "14"-Miler-(I got 13.5mi. on my GPS watch, 1.5mi. wu-12:40, no cd)---15mi. total for the day. I felt so drained after this race. It's definitely the toughest race that I've done in my life so far. It took everything I had to keep my legs moving in the last few miles. I should have brought some kind of energy food with me and a water bottle. I stopped at a couple water stations on the way back at 9mi. and then 11mi. in. I think I was just really dehydrated and my body shut down. I felt better after getting some food down and taking a nap.
