Comments:

I ran with the 2:00 pace group, but had to fall back a bit. I ran a personal best 2:09, shaving 25 minutes off my best at this distance. Must be all of this Ironman training.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, was a good race for me.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

More time needed to improve overall run endurance.
