Pre-race routine:

Minimal running the past several weeks. A few long runs, but overall milage very low.
Run
  • 1h 44m 11s
  • 10 miles
  • 10m 25s  min/mile
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. This was a casual run with friends. Pace was very easy and we walked throught the aid stations. I'm actually pleased that I held back without getting caught up in the race. I still have some other long races this season, so it was good to "walk away" ready to go again.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I've been struggling with calf issues. MRI last week showed old injuries but nothing acute. Start PT this week.

Event comments:

This year provided a new start and finish. Both the start and finish were very, very crowded. Sure, it was 30,000 people, but the design in years past accomodated this without much trouble. I trust that the Army 10 Miler will make the appropriate adjustments. The course and weather was great; lots of volunteers.
