Comments:

Great race. Folks went out very hard. Pace was high all the way into Marion. I was in the right group but I didn't take care of myself.
What would you do differently?:

Better nutrition and hydration plan. Use fuel on race course instead of lugging my own around. That means training with gatorade. cary extra water bottles in my jersey pockets.
Post race
Warm down:

None

What limited your ability to perform faster:
