Comments:

First race with HEED as refueling starting at mile 6. Slight cramping starting at mile 11. Warmer and more humid than I would like.

What would you do differently?:

Start replacing calories and electrolytes a bit sooner.

Post race

Warm down:

5 minutes walking, fruit, water, cookies.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Threat of cramping.

Event comments:

Need a binned start. First 1.5 miles was a lot of sorting out on a narrow back country road. Would like to see HEED sooner than 6 miles in the race.
