Comments:

Some parts of the trail were pretty clear, but other parts were ankle-twisting cow-path-like. I pushed through pain and wanting to stop, thinking the whole time that I didn't want to miss the award ceremony at 11:00 because Shaun came in second! I worked hard to keep my pace to 7 minutes/km or better. Ate both packs of Jelly Belly Sport Beans by the time I passed mile 7. Felt hungry around 15kms. Legs felt like lead around 18kms.
What would you do differently?:

Train more in the weeks leading up to the race.
Post race
Warm down:

Eating a huge brunch. Delicious!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training over the last few weeks.

Event comments:

We swore to not do next year's race. Let's see if we stick with that.
