Comments: Wasn't sure what I'd get for my time. My previous PR was 1:46 last year so I knew I could get that but wasn't sure by how much. Hadn't done any speed work lately just adding up the miles for my marathon. Plan was to go out about 7:30 and just see how it went. First mile was 7:09, oops. Game plan went out the window then. Started just going by feel and I felt good. Didn't know how long I'd keep up my 7 min pace. 8 mile was a 6:53 so I figured I could hang on. Last mile was a 6:44. Overall about as perfect a race I could have hoped for. What would you do differently?: Finish a little harder. My 10th and 11th miles I slowed a bit to 7:15 wanting to close strong. I think I could have stayed at 7 or a bit faster and still finished strong maybe even went under a 7 min pace. Post race
Warm down: Walked and got a coffee and water waiting for my dad to finish. A little stretching. Got home and rode an easy 20 miles to stretch out. What limited your ability to perform faster: Only thing I could think of is maybe a taper. Training for a marathon I just tossed this race in. Still ran 45 miles last week. Only "taper" I did was change off days from Friday to Saturday. Event comments: Great race. I didn't stick around for awards as there were a lot of people still out on the course and I wanted to get a quick ride in before kickoff. Last updated: 2012-12-02 12:00 AM

Carbo loaded on pizza and beer last night. Not the best idea. Wasn't hungry in the morning so drank a serving of my infinit run mix didn't want to carry it on the run
Just a little streching
