Comments: Maybe started off a bit fast; I was hoping to stay with the 2:30 pacer, but I couldn't find him, so I started off on my own. All of a sudden, around 1 mile, I get passed by the 2:15 pacers. Ooops. Felt really good about my running - only stopped to walk through aid stations until the 12th mile - walked up a steep overpass. Another short little bout of walking somewhere before the finish line, but otherwise ran the whole thing. What would you do differently?: Nothing - this went well for me. It was hotter than I anticipated, but they had plenty of water & gatorade on the course and I was smart about drinking it. Maybe start off a bit slower, but I'm really happy with my performance. Post race
Warm down: Ate the banana and gatorade, dropped off stuff at the car & called home. Went into civic center for post-race feast and had beer and crab/corn chowder. Realized I don't really like crab/corn chowder. Or crappy beer (Coors Light). Got a massage because my calves hurt. And then drove home. What limited your ability to perform faster: Heat? Mostly I'm on my way back...it has taken a while to get here and I have a ways to go -- but I hit my target time and was even 7 minutes faster. Yeah me! Event comments: J&A throws awesome races. Plus the Hampton cops, the Hampton citizens, darn near everyone on the course was awesome. Lots of fantastic cheering sections from random folks along the whole 13 miles - there were no lonely stretches. http://trimomhalf.blogspot.com/2013/10/another-one-bites-dustand-ra...

Drove down to Hampton - ate a Lara Bar and drank a diet Dew along the way. KT taped knees and put on calf sleeves. Picked up race packet and got ID'd for after-race beer.
Watched the little kid race go off. Otherwise not much.
