Comments:

Best performance since Long Beach in 2010 and set a new PR. Missed a BQ by 1:45, but otherwise a good race. Had BQ going through mile 21, but really hit the wall on the hill in the VA grounds there...pace never really recovered after that.

Event comments:

Seventh time doing LA. Logistics pretty much the same every year now, although there were some increased security measures this year (post-Boston) that created problems for me getting to the post-race hospitality suite for the charity I ran for this year.
