Pre-race routine:

It seemed strange not packing up a bag of equipment for either a tri or du. Eat the usual cliff bar and gatorade.
Event warmup:

Just walk around the started line. A little job, but not enough to raise HR.
Run
  • 1h 56m 5s
  • 13.1 miles
  • 08m 52s  min/mile
Comments:

Ran out of energy at mile 10 and survived the last 3 miles into the wind.

The wind was out of the SW and gusting to 18, so when running into the wind it affected the stride.
Post race
Warm down:

Walking around the finish area and tracking down nephew after his fun run.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough long runs in training.

Event comments:

The course started on a highway, with cars passing at 45 mph; but at least the right lane was closed. The side roads only allowed a single file on the pavement, so passing as out in traffic or on the gravel shoulder.
