Comments:

I was pleased with my effort. I classified this as a B race but I put in allot of miles in preparation. Last year I ran it 2:03. My goal was to get under 1'50" and I was able to meet that goal. All things considered I probably set the goal bar too low but it will give me a target for next year.
What would you do differently?:

More speed work!!
