Comments:

This was THE BEST race I've done so far, after 4 marathons and now 4 1/2 marathons. I was thinking of doing the full next year, who knows? My original goal was to do 2:10, knowing that I am now faster than that but being conservative. Early on I saw I was 2 minutes ahead, then 3, then 4 and was so excited! I was even able to speed up the last 1.5 miles.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing! Fantastic race!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just my own sorry butt. I'm very pleased with what I was able to do.

Event comments:

Yah Eugene! You did it right.
