Comments:

Very strong last 3 miles. My only goal was to finish the race and not take it hard. Since I had plenty left over at the end I just went all out. I'l check my Garmin results on Monday at work, since that's where the dongle is.

Take the training a little more serious.

Event comments:

Ton of people along the course cheering, plenty of water stations and lots of vendors. The medal is the best so far and it lights up like a Christmas ornament.
