Event warmup:

I have been dealing with bronchitis so I had not done any physical activity in more than a week. I probably shouldn't have run but I took my meds and hoped for the best.

Comments:

I planned to take the race easy due to being sick. I was going to shoot for around 2:10. I forgot my GPS watch so that sucked. When I got to the race, I felt pretty good and the music and crowd got me fired up. I told my wife before we started I thought I could hold a 1:55 pace. I could tell my lungs were not 100% and I struggled to breathe a few times but it was worse when I stopped so I just kept going.
What would you do differently?:

Not have bronchitis. The conditions were great to try to PR.
Post race
Warm down:

Had a coughing fit and was cramping after the race. The corral this year sucked. I was stuck just standing there without room to stretch. You also had to walk forever to get any water which I despiratly needed. It was frustrating.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bronchitis

Event comments:

The corral was terrible and hard to get out of this year. I also felt like the water stations were poorly spaced. They were not consistently spaced so it was hard to time when they would appear.
