Arrived at the race site with about 10 minutes to spare. Did do an out and back on the path, while keeping an ear to the announcements so I wouldn't miss the start.

Comments:

This was going okay until my HRM started to malfunction. It wasn't reading properly, so I thought I was in Z1 half the time. I kept on running and eventually figured out I was running too fast to maintain. Then the sunny stretch really did me in. The course measured 10.3 on my Garmin. I get overrunning a bit, but that's kind of crazy. So, I am taking credit for 10.3 miles. It was a training run after a very long hot bike day, so I guess this is no surprise.
What would you do differently?:

Should have brought more cals/salt to supplement. I had a 24 oz bottle of sport drink and took water on the course, but I needed more. Also, ditch the HRM and really be smart about how I feel and my pace.

Event comments:

They did a nice job and you can't beat the price ($10)! I will definitely keep my eye on this race for future years. Most of the course was really nice and I could adjust to the sunny part with the right clothes and things.
