Comments:

Felt like the first half went by very quickly. We kept the pace very slow and easy. Picked it up a bit between 14-18, despite mentally losing a little focus. I depended on Billy to keep me on pace here. Felt strong up to mile 21. Toughest miles were 22-24. Got a second wind with 2 miles to go and spanked it home!! Couldn't have done it without my PIC!
What would you do differently?:

Remember to pack my chip! Train a little more.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around after the race with stiff legs. Came home and got into the hot tub. Stayed off my feet for several hours, then did some gentle stretching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not quite enough endurance training.
