Pre-race routine:

Waited at Metro to stay warm and out of rain. Could have used a few more layers when waiting.

Run from bag check and then jog about 300 yards to start from corral.
Run
  • 1h 32m 29s
  • 10 miles

What would you do differently?:

Train :) More running frequency and longer runs. Now plan to keep all runs 6+ miles until Yough 12hr.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk from finish to bag drop and Metro.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of commitment to training for race.

Event comments:

Volunteers were nice and sure that the rain kept more spectators away. Actually, that part was nice because the trains and Metro were a lot less crowded on the way home.

Performance: Good
Second mile was a bit slower than first. First two and a half miles were spent trying to get some space (trail/steeplechase). 5 K was about 28:15 (I think). Started to pick it up a little and found a groove after 5K. Definitely ran negative splits, which I was aiming for.
Course: Flat and fast. A little curvy for 21K runners.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
