Comments:

I do know that I have gotten fat and out of shape since IMFL, but before I got sick a few weeks ago I was holding faster paces at lower HRs. Since then, I just can't keep my HR down no matter what, which is incredibly frustrating. It was high the entire race, I just tried to keep it from going too high until the end. My legs felt fine almost the whole race, and felt fine at 4pm.

What would you do differently?:

Less clothes
Post race
Warm down:

Waited for B and another friend to finish, then drove home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heart rate

Event comments:

Old race - I'm just catching up on entering race reports I never got around too.
