Slight negative split. Just under 8:00 min pace for 1st half and finished with 7:46 pace for the entire race. this is 18 sec/mi faster than Vegas in early dec., so a lot of progress has been made.

Bigger/longer trash bag
Post race
Warm down:

Immediately shivering cold. Hung out for 5 minutes waiting for a friend then went to the tent because it was too cold.

Hit the hot tub at friend's apt.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Very happy, given the conditions. I've made a lot of progress.

Event comments:

Great race, just wish the conditions were better.
