definitely glad I signed up for the 12 vs. 6 hour. Not trained at all to run in 90-100 degrees with Very Little Breeze today! Every little breeze we did feel was SO WELCOMED. 3.3 mile loop made for a PERFECT course for a HOT race–you have option of dropping if you feel too heat exhausted. DNF does not only mean ‘did not finish–it also means Did Nothing Fatal! Definitely train in HEAT if you want to have a decent experience. Late July in Oklahoma is no joke, similar to anywhere else, except the Southern Hemisphere! There’s a reason for this race being called, “SWEAT, not Sweet, HOT Oklahoma Summer Trials!” You’re definitely on “Trial” to see if you can pass the test for this extreme HEAT in an mostly hot asphalt, very little shade, course! Very nice to meet some KIND runners, and volunteers today!! I just needed a marathon distance to satisfy the requirements for the 50 State Full Marathon Club, and I’m so glad I came here! Met some runners who had finished some of the same races I ran in the years past. KIND, solo aid station worker in the middle of the loop helped me immensely! I am very grateful indeed!
