Comments:

My first ever 90 miles so i was not too sure how to deal with it. I put myself in Wave 5.I was worried about how much fuel i would need too and i probably took to much.

I stopped at the halfway rest stop in High Cliff and at the last rest stop at about 82 miles. The fliers said 93 miles but i made it to be 90 miles

We all got stuck by a train crossing at mile 17 which was funny. It lasted about 4 mins for me.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe..just maybe blow by the rest stops.
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing really. There was a nice Pasta Dinner for free but i just went home to see my family. Super tired when i got home but had to go grocery shopping.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Rest stops, Sometimes i would get in a group which was probably slower than i should be going.

Event comments:

They really put on a nice race here. I think this is the best of the year from Midwest. Lets hope it keeps growing.
