Comments:

Went well the first mile, but slowed during mile 2. Finally warmed up in mile 3, but started dogging it in mile 4-5. Took my gels too late. Mile 6 to the end was actually good.
What would you do differently?:

Run the day before.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, stretched a little.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not running the day before probably was a detriment. Was I overtrained or not primed? I wish I could solve this!

Event comments:

This actually sucked. I really believed that I'd beat my time of 54:58 last year. I didn't have a gel before the race and probably should have had one in mile 2 instead of waiting to mile 3.5. I felt great at the end, which means the last 2 gels kicked in too late. I have to learn to push myself a bit harder through the middle of the race instead of settling in to an "easy" pace.
