What would you do differently?:

I tried a training plan that I have used before - dramatically undertrain.

Strangely, I got a similar result compared to the last time I tried this.
Post race
Warm down:

I went mountain biking today. It made things better.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training.

Event comments:

They had a better layout at the finish area in past races.

I signed up for this race hoping to kick start my training that had been non-existent since last April. Unfortunately it remained non-existent until race day.

I found that I have lost a ton of speed in that time but I still have residual fitness as far as endurance. I was about 50 minutes slower than the last 1/2 mary I did when I actually trained.
