Comments:

I spent 3 hours in the ER the previous weekend with a stomach virus and severe dehydration and had a sinus infection most of the week. I felt good until I hit about the 40 mi mark and then i was drained. Up until that point I was on pace for my goal time but I knew it was going to be just about finishing from there.

Comments:

Was able to run the first mile and then it was a lot of walking. Walked most of the first half. Tried to jog the downhills on the 2nd half but had a hard time keeping HR down.
What would you do differently?:

This was the best I could do after being sick all week leading up to it.
Post race
Warm down:

sat in ice bath for about 10 minutes

What limited your ability to perform faster:

being sick/severely dehydrated all week leading up to race.

Event comments:

They put on a GREAT race. I didn't participate in any post-race activities so I can't really comment on that.
