Race number 1443
I came out the gate fast and managed too not slow down too much. By the last 2 miles i was slowing. Did not wear a heart rate monitor this time as i think it makes me go too slow sometimes.
I got very cold fingers towards the end as i dont think my gloves were thick enough. I concentreated on long strides and at every one mile mark i a 1 minute rest jog ( i slowed down for 1 minute)
Was really happy to see i had placed 3rd. First time i have placed in a big race!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really. I think i was 95% on my games. The end came as a surprise again.
Post race
Warm down:

Really cold...i left right away. Hope i can get my trophy

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Weight, but that is always the case. I can not keep using it as an excuse.

Event comments:

I dont think they expected so many ppl. They only had a small area to check in. Good thing for me i checked in the day before. They were using disposable timining too so i just parked and went to the start line.
