I definitely pushed myself on this run. I really could have not went much harder. Asthma was good, and my calf was good.

Performance: Good
My HR data was really messed up during the race. By all measures, I should have been dead at the end; literally. Measured 220 + last half mile and was commonly in excess of Zone 5. I may need a new HR monitor or new batteries.
