Comments:

Took it easy the first loop. About 10:30 miles according to my watch (which isn't quite right). Second loop was evenly split with first loop. Not a single person passed me the second loop, of course all the fast people were gone by then, since I started in the second to last wave. Only walked through the aid stations. Each aid station I filled my bottle with one cup and wore another. Never walked at all except at aid stations!!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, went as good as I could have hoped.
Post race
Warm down:

None

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Poor training the last month.

Event comments:

Another great 5430 event!
