Comments:

Felt great for the first 8 miles. On pace for a sub 2 hr half. Then my body decided I could not keep the pace. I faded and finished outside of my goal time. Disappointing to say the least.
What would you do differently?:

Not go out so hard at the beginning. Get more liquids in.
Post race
Warm down:

None. Dizzy and beginning to cramp.

Good race for first time event. Very well organized.
