What would you do differently?:

Started out too slow. Could probably have broken 3:30 with better pacing, but was unsure about my fitness level. Felt very, very good for everything but the first ten miles, which seems backwards. I never really hit the wall.

Event comments:

I run this race every year because I'm a local. If I wasn't, I might do it once for the "destination" aspect. The course is tough due to heat and some hills that seem to come up just at the wrong times. Plan on losing at least two to three minutes at the start due to the crowds.
