Comments:

overall, it was a good run. started out flying, but had to pull back a little bit so as to avoid typical lactic threshold digestive issues. It helped me keep a good pace though
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Headwind, lactic threshold of digestive track, less training that I would've liked in the month prior

Event comments:

Overall, another great race!
