Went OK needed salt tablet at mile 2 for some cramping in my right thigh worked good. Ran the second mile in a great mindset till I realize the course went further than I thought. Ran with heart rate at 160 to avoid overheating. Picked it up to about 165 for the last half mile.

Check out the run course to avoid surprise on the route.
