44:58 first half / 43:57 second half

Went out a little too hard, but still felt like I was running easy at mile 5. I tried to start upping the pace at mile 8-9, but at that point, I didn't have much more to give. The bottom of my feet were getting really sore at mile 9, so I was worried that I wouldn't make it to the finish before they REALLY hurt, but I was OK. I ran with my camera and took a lot of videos!

What would you do differently?:

I bet I'd be faster if I didn't run with my camera....

Warm down:

Ran to my car ASAP and had no chance to officially cool down. I had to get to Ian's 2nd birthday party!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Running with a camera?... ;)

Event comments:

Plenty of aid stations for me, but being there were only 2, I know some people had hoped for more. Nice race!
