 Run
Comments: Tried to stay with the 4:10 marathon pace group until they split off. They got a little ways ahead of me on the big hill, but then when it leveled off and started downhill I caught back up with them before they split off at mile 3. Had to will myself through the 4 mile mark, and after that the run felt great all the way to finish. I had enough left in me to sprint the last 100 yards in (and probably more). Beat my goal time by 45 seconds! What would you do differently?: Just need to work on settling into a pace and knowing what that pace is while running.  Post race
Warm down: LaRosa's pizza and Beer. Mmmm. What limited your ability to perform faster: Self-doubt and hesitation. While I was pretty wasted at the end, I think I could have pushed harder throughout the run, and there was one stretch I definitely felt to be going slow. Event comments: Great place for a race!

Bagel for breakfast, plenty of water, banana and balance bar about 60 minutes pre-race.
Light stretching, especially the calves. Some short jogging. Tried not to stand too much. 2 mile walk from the car was enough of a warmup. Had to hit the port-a-pot three times, but didn't feel the urge to go at all during the race.
