Comments:

Waaaaay better than last year with regards to weather. A lot cooler. I was on pace for <10:00mm, but the wheels came off after the hill at mile 7.5. After that I was about 10:30-11:30. :(

Nonetheless, for not tapering (using it as a training run for Steelhead) I still did a personal PR for the course - 2:15:00. Nowhere near my PR for a 1/2 marathon, but I was hoping to be between 2:10:xx and 2:15:00. Thanks be to God - just barely made it!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I ended up cramping BAD in my legs about 30 meters from the finish. A nice volunteer/EMT checked on me to make sure that I was okay. This was my first time *not* taking Gatorade on the course (I never train with it). Stretching and post race food helped alleviate the pain.

Event comments:

Excellent race as always, imho. So thankful that the weather was nice this year!
