Run
Comments: Run went really well. drink & Powergel at 3.1 miles, drinks at 5, & 6 miles. At 8 miles used 2nd powergel 7 accellerade. John, Joe & I each took the lead pacing each other for miles 2-8 it worked well that each of us was the pace person. Mile 9 Joe got cramps because he didn't drink fluids on the race (it was his 1st race ever) At 10 miles started to slow, with the hill, used more water, but realized I was under my 2 hour mark, so kept moving. At 12 Miles wanted to walk bad. Legs felt like lead, however the crowd started really getting deep, and couldn't bring myself to walk in front of the crowd so ran it in. What would you do differently?: Nothing came away with a PR, but I need better training. Post race
Warm down: Stretch, Popcsilce, enjoyed getting a tan. What limited your ability to perform faster: A couple of things come to mind, 1) 4 Glasses of wine the day before -- watching the Seahawk game, and at dinner 2) Late dinner (I got us lost going to the resturant) so we finished dinner at 10 PM 3) At Dinner at a couple of desserts 4) Not getting to sleep early, we went to bed at 11:30 & got up at 6.

Normal race routine, Starbucks banana bread & blueberry scone bits. got up at 6 am, so that we could find the start.
Watched the Marathoners start, met Bruce Morgan of our team, then went for some light stretching.
