Comments:

I was happy with my speed and positioning but a little disappointed that i didn't accelerate back into town and go under 1:20.

What would you do differently?:

I'd like to not work or drive before a race. And some sleep and proper nutrition would have been great.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

sleep, work, driving, and fighting bowel movements.

Event comments:

I'm a fan of the country event but not this years course. I noticed some better runners and bigger numbers this year.
A few more drink stations would have been nice.
