Comments:

THe run was fine, but I didn't go as fast as expected. They didn't have a start-time on the chip, so my time is probably 10-20 seconds faster than indicated.
Post race
Warm down:

Not Much

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I've been feeling less than 100% lately, so I'm not running loose and feel like I'm not performing very well. I think the marathon training is taking its toll and so I may try to take some more rest and/or take my recovery runs more seriously.

Event comments:

I really didn't like their decision to postpone the start of the race by :30 minutes. It was cold and the delay made it difficult to perform my best.
