Comments:

Pouring down rain the entire time. Paced myself for five miles, so didn't run all out at the beginning and burn myself out.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe push a little harder to cut 15 seconds off and get right under one hour. But, very happy with this run.
Post race
Warm down:

Changed into dry clothes and watched the awards ceremony.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Legs, hips. The usual.

Event comments:

My goal had been to run this race in one hour, and I accomplished that.
