Yes, I some how survived last weekend of having 2 races in less that 24 hours apart. Friday night was the race in German Valley IL. It was HORRIBLY HOT!!! Also the course, which was through the streets in town, there was not any shade. The other problem was that they did NOT block traffic during the race. So you literally had to look before crossing any intersections. I did finish the race, not as well as I would have liked. But for my first night race - I was OK. I did get 1st place in my age division!!! My time was 36:56. I had to walk some basically due to the heat.
