Pre-race routine:

Part of a PowerBar an hour before, and a Roctane GU about 20 mins before.

Run

Comments:

BRUTAL. First mile was spot on, but then I couldn't hold it. Was dying.

What would you do differently?:

More speedwork in training.

Post race

Warm down:

Jogged a bit. Stretched well at home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of speed work - too many easy runs. But I'm kinda OK with that.

Event comments:

Fun venue.
