Comments:

Good race. Started out in 4th and stayed there until the turn. Kept a 7:00 pace for 1st half (was holding back). Took off at the turn and took 2nd by mile 10. Was absolutley dead by mile 11 so wasn't able to finish sub-90 min.
What would you do differently?:

Gu at the turn and wait until mile 8 to take off.
Post race
Warm down:

1.5 miles

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Pushed too hard at turn. Bad nutrition plan.

Event comments:

Run Wild continues to be one of the premier race hosts in the state!
