Comments:

I RAN the whole way!!!!! I felt great up to mile 9 then I slowed. I was training at 11min/miles and I was surprised I was runing around 10 min/miles!! I thought I would finish between 2:30- 3:00 Hrs. But I passed the 2:20 mile pacer I was so extatic!!!
What would you do differently?:

When I went to mark lap 3 on my watch, I realized that I stopped my watch at mile 2. So I didn't get info on mile 2-3 and so my time was off on my watch.

The most miles I trained up to was 8miles. I felt great the first 9 miles and then I was tough.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked alot & stretched. Once in my car I put the seat warmers on.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not running more than 8miles.

Event comments:

I still think I like Triathlons better. It was fun and I still am glowing from doing so well. I definately will do another! I also like all the music playing on the coarse.
