Comments:

Good run. Had to exert a little more mental energy to push the last mile or so.
What would you do differently?:

During the race...nothing. Before the race...more running in the training plan when leading up to an 8 mile race.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk, stretch, nibbled on a banana and drank a little water.

Training.

Event comments:

Finished 441 out of 8478 Male finishers

Good race in general. It was a little warmer this year than last which helped to not deplete the energy before the race. As always, I enjoyed the run but I think I definitely noticed that my run pace was not as good as this time last year. I'll always do this race as long as I am in Hawaii.
