Comments:

Very nice run. Had a good tail wind. Ran fast up the few rollers there were and passed a lot of people. Felt great the whole way. Started out at 10 min. miles then sped up as I got closer to the end because I felt so good. Really pushed it the last 1/2 of the race. Walked a little at the 2 gel stations. Had gels at miles 4 and 8 and gummy bears at mile 11.
What would you do differently?:

Not a thing

Event comments:

Beautiful course along the river. Lots of things blooming. Very good aid stations and volunteers. Plenty of porta potties at the start and great bus shuttle service. Really fun.
