Comments: The weather was perfect. I settled into a comfortable pace, which was about 10s/mile faster than my goal and held it for the first half. I was still feeling good at this point, so I sped up by about 5-10 secs/mile. The last 5K were tough, but I still a little left to speed up for the last 800 meters. Couldn't ask for a flatter coarse or better weather! I went well. What would you do differently?: Nothing. ![]() Post race
Warm down: Walked the mile back to my car. What limited your ability to perform faster: genetics, only second full marathon. Event comments: Pros: Scenic coarse. I enjoyed the bands. Good crowd support for second half. Plenty of hydration stations finishing medal was good Cons: Better food choices at finish line would help. (petty complaint) would have liked a long-sleeve tech. shirt. Last updated: 2010-10-19 12:00 AM

Up at 4 a.m. Actually slept well, with about 6.5 hours of sleep. Ate 2/3 of a PBJ, sipped black tea and gatorade. Drove the hour up to Denver.
Walked 1 mile from parking garage to port-a-potties. Spent next 20 minutes doing the "pee dance" in the line up to the potty.
