Comments:

At six miles I thought it was a breeze. First 10 miles went well. By mile 13 I could hardly pick up my legs. Started to trip over rocks. Strangely, I got really hungry toward the end. Wished I had a power bar with me. Not much water the last three miles.
What would you do differently?:

For my ability this was a good effort and I am very satisfied. Hope to do better next year. I want to work on my endurance.
Post race
Warm down:

Double iced mocha, water, gatorade, oranges, banana, cookies.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My legs just about quit working near the end. I think just improving my longer runs and events will help a bunch.

Event comments:

I indicated that there were many water stations, and there were, except for the last three miles which is where I really needed it. I was super impressed with how well the course was marked. I had never run that trail before, but I was never unsure about where to go. Also every mile marker was well placed. I'll do this again for sure!

Performance: Good
HR hit in the 190's during hill ascent. Tried to keep it around 170 or below, but not much success in staying below 170 for long.
Course: Very well marked course that started out wide enough for 4 abreast, but when the 10K runners broke off, the trial got narrow and steep. Great challenge, very beautiful run near the Spokane River.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Not enough
