Basically stood in line at the port-a-pot and then got in the corral and chatted with the other runners. Watched Team Hoyt take off first.

Comments:

This was my first race at this distance, training prepped me well for the run. It was hot when the sun was beating down. My opening mile was 8:01 and my closing mile was 9:38. I did have one negative split around mile 8, so that was cool. The bands were all great and motivating as well as the crowds throughout the course. Attt to the staff and volunteers!

Train more
