What limited your ability to perform faster:

I had a stomach bug starting on thursday that continued through sunday. I needed to be eating 3000 calories a day, but I think that was my total intake over those 4 days. Took an Imodium at 7am that kept really bad things from happening. Miles 1-10 were good. 11-15 became interesting. GI distress started in earnest around mile 17. It became so extreme at 20 that I ran maybe 1 of the last 5.5 miles.

I wanted to do it in 4:45, but I am proud of my finish.

Event comments:

only 1 drink station was out of powerade & that was an early stop so no big deal.

What's up with the oranges being so early in the race - and at the narrowest point on the course?????

We were actually late starting, but I didn't notice it.
