Stayed fairly consistant until close to the end. I felt I was getting a little over heated and took a little extra time through the water stops to drink more water. I did pretty good on the uphill segments and controlling my breathing. Not bad for my first time doing this distance since the winter.
What would you do differently?:

Train a little more at this distance. Take little more water at the stops.
Post race
Warm down:

Water, watermelon, long walk back to the car. Did stretch before driving home. Took a nap after breakfast.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Me being about 20lbs over the weight I should be.

Event comments:

The water stops I think were understaffed for the amount of people on the course. Several times I and several other runners had to take the cups off of the table because they volunteers were just being overwhelmed.
