Comments:

Stayed on pace for the first 17 miles. Didn't have enough left at the end. Did the best I could on the day, but couldn't make my legs go faster. Still thought I had a chance to make it at mile 23, but by 24, I couldn't push it any more because my hips and calves were done.
What would you do differently?:

nothing - maybe do a training program that goes to 23 miles a few times

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My legs were toast at 23.

Event comments:

Great weather, great race.
