Frisco 50K. Had a lot of fun out there today. Pretty relaxed pace all day. I did have a few miles around 13-18 that I picked up the pace a bit to catch and drop a few guys, but other than that I did nothing too fast. Hit 26.2 @ 3:35 which would have been a PR (never ran a sanctioned marathon) and was alright with that pace. Kinda mailed it in the last 5. I had NOBODY around me other than the BOP marathoners so there was no reason to push too hard. The last 5 still only took about 50 minutes so that wasn't nearly as slow as I thought it would be. It was a small race so standings aren't that important, but it's always fun to bring home a little hardware. Got a pretty cool little train for the win.

What would you do differently?:

Probably nothing. Think I nailed it today. Wanted to use it as a long training day and that is exactly what it turned out to be.
Post race
Warm down:

Coke, pizza, banana, cookies, gatorade. All good things.

Event comments:

Great time out there today. For a small race (about 220 total I think) they really do a great job.
