Comments:

Everything was going great until mile 16 when a slight downhill allowed my IT band to flare up.
What would you do differently?:

I went out sticking with the 3:25 pace group. I was with them until the downhill at mile 16, and then it was a struggle. I would probably be a little more conservative in the beginning.

Warm down:

Walked around the beach and stadium with whit.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

IT band issues

Event comments:

Great scenery. Relatively flat and easy course and smaller marathon so wasn't overcrowded.
