I should have realized that with my weight low going into this race I was very dehydrated. I ended up with heat exhaustion, something that I have not had since I was about 13 years old. I need to condition better for this.
During the race on the backside of the course I had severe symtoms, but would not quit and eventually found a creek to cool down in.
I had to drop due to the course closing and it was probably a good hing for me.
Joan Roos took care of me at the finish, but even still I did not revive for two days.
