Comments:

Cold, windy, hilly course. Didnt expect to PR this race on this course in these conditions. Felt good and went with it. Stayed just in front of the 1:35 pacers the whole way. They complained alot about the mile markers being way off. They probably were since my garmin said we were at 6.35 at mile 6 then at mile 9 it was back to 9.08 finished at 13.2 Good day for me. Feel like I couldve broken 1:30 if it werent for the strong winds.
Post race
Warm down:

I knew I had left it out there when I finished and spent the next 5 minutes trying not to throw up. The had ART tables outside which wasa nice, but I was sweaty and it was 50 and windy. I was shivering the whole time.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

cant change conditions.

Event comments:

Nice race, nothing fancy, lots of aid stations on course. Might have been better off with less stations and more volunteers at the stations.
