Comments:

A good race. I wanted to run 7:45/mi and ended up at 7:46/mile so i am happy with my performance.
Lost focus in the middle of the race and lost my rythm for a bit. Need to concentrate on breathing and rhythm in next race.

What would you do differently?:

Take two waters at each station

Post race

Warm down:

Walked around, stretched. There was a good spread after the race with lots of food, drink and sponsors. Hartford Marathon Foundation sets up a good camp!!!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heat!!! First really hot day in CT in a long time so I was not used to running in it.

Event comments:

Great race, will do it again if schedule permits.

Performance:	Good
Course:	Flat course through Hartford then back along the river on a trail for part of the way. Only two water stations on the course which due to summer finally getting to CT was one too few. The river part of the race was shaded and cooler which gave some relief from the heat.
