Comments:

Solid run, no issues. The pace felt comfortable throughout, I never felt out of my element and had enough left for the final kick (which let me pass a few more people). I used only water on this course, and two gels. The race was serving accelerade and since I have never trained with it, I went without.
What would you do differently?:

It was a PR, no changes for this race.
Post race
Warm down:

Lots of walking afterwards. Stetching at the NewBalance recovery tent (and I got a free beach towel). Laid in the sun for a while. Bacon Cheesburger at "Ruby Tuesday" on the way back to the hotel!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My coach kicking my ass and a 44 mile TT effort on saturday morning, but it wasn't enough to slow me down too much :)

Event comments:

Great race! Elite events did an awesome job, I would definitely do this race again or any of there other events!
