Comments:

Ran at a solid pace for the first 10 miles then calf started hurting and had to push thru at the end. I'm happy with the result. I was ahead of the 1:30 pacer and since my watch stopped working I didn't know how close I was to breaking 1:30. Had I known maybe I could have pushed harder earlier but who knows...
What would you do differently?:

Massage the calf before the run
Post race
Warm down:

Iced calf and walked

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My right calf

Event comments:

It was a nice day but the course was kinda crappy. You go uphill for 7 miles and then you go downhill for a long time. Very few sections that are flat. It really messed up my rhythm and my legs. Probably the best half marathon race I have run so far even if it's not a PR.
