Pre-race routine:

Nothing unusual. Had a banana and a bowl of yogurt about an hour before the race. Diluted some "Gatorade" with wtaer to make it more palatable for the run. Mixed up 3 bottles for the 3 laps around the FOB.

Comments:

Started a little too fast, but settled into a nice pace. Goal was under 2hrs, so tried to stay about a 9:10 PPM. Mile 8 had to stop for a quick break and did not walk until mile 12 when the guys I was running with need to stop.

Keep trying to keep pace and keep moving in the right direction. Felt good overall.
Post race
Warm down:

A little walking around and a protein shake before bed.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training, only had about 3 weeks into the training. Was a little tired from being up all night, but otherwise a good run.

Course: Course was an out and back followed by 3.5 mile loops around the FOB. Pretty much a flat course with only 1 uphill of about 20 feet over 1/8 mile, everything else is gravel. Course is largely paved with some areas of potholes and substantial gravel. 2 water points where establighed with multiple locations for breaks if needed.
