Summary 69 miles, one shitty workout, one decent race. It was real hot and the pace just kept picking up, I got dropped just before 2 miles from the lead pack and fought my way in. I had really hoped to run about 18:30, but with the heat and the day I had I'm ok with it. I got a couple of real good scalps but not ending up in the top 10 was real disappointing. It was real hot in Peoria, the humidity wasn't too bad but it was 92 plus every day and it didn't cool off too much at any point in the day.

dangers. We should fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices the
real murderers." Victor Hugo Les Miserables (p. 27)
