Comments:

Started out great. Fastest 10 I have run + fasted 1/2 marathon and I was feeling good. My heart rate was down and I seemed to be cruising. I felt like I crashed the last 2 miles. The hardest thing to do was finish. I had a PR so I was happy but I wanted under 3 hrs also.
What would you do differently?:

I should have drank more / earlier.
Post race
Warm down:

almost passing out from the lat two mile so I just walked around

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Drinking in the beginning. Need more in the beginning.

Event comments:
