Comments:

Satisfied with the fact that I finished, but am a bit disappointed in myself for taking so long to do so. I believe that I could've ended at least 10 minutes sooner if my feet didn't hurt so bad!
What would you do differently?:

Buy orthopedic inserts for my running shoes. Pick up my pace coming down the hills to give me a better time.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Balls of my feet hurt very bad!

Event comments:

This was my first HM ever.

Performance: Average
Course: Despite the opinion of others who say that this is a hilly course, it is actually relatively flat with perhaps 2, well placed and moderate, inclines. The brick roads around mile 9 do not feel good on tired feet but the remainder of the course is good pavement.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
