Comments:

Running has always been my weak point, but I am working on it. This was a PR for my half marathon. So needless to say I was happy about that, and that was with no taper for this race. Previous to this race I had run 32 miles already so far with two hard bike sesssions a weight session and swimming. . . so it wasn't as though I was 100% rested for the race.
What would you do differently?:

Start off a little quicker, maybe get a mile warm up or something. . it took the legs about 4-5 miles to get going.
Post race
Warm down:

Stood in line for food, got some and then ran back to the car to get camera for friends to take pictures.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Probably just the training that I am doing on a weekly basis. Not to mention that I want to run 150 miles this month so upping the run mileage takes a toll on the legs.

Course: I wouldn't say HILLY, but there was a couple of good hills, lots of gradual uphills, but at the same time gradual downhills.

Nice run, good pacing and great time. Just figure out how to tack that half mary pace on to RedMan next year and you'll dominate.
