Best pacing at this distance.

Post race
Warm down:

Jog around finish area half mile, cheer and encourage finishers.
Until the sky opened up and rain came down hard. Glad I finished fast. Runners behind me were soaked but 2 inches of liquid sunshine.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Would have like to run the final mile at 8 or perhaps 7:30. Oh well.
This was a 2 minute PR. Not much to complain about. about zero.

Event comments:

Aid stations every 2miles on the odd miles.
Lots of volunteers, lots of porta pot without lines,
I carried my own hydration and ran through the aid stations and never stopped. Never needed to pooper stations. Come on people, get ready, lets roll.

Great race. Inspired to see the master class winners pass on the return leg of the modified out and back.
