Went out a bit too fast, passed the Hoyts, then settled in and pushed more and more the further I got into the race.

I got passed and passed a ton of people throughout the run.

Slower than I thought, turns out race was chip-timed, but it wasn't chip timed. It counted your chip as you finished but not as you started, so people that were seeded further back got hurt. Normally it doesn't matter.

Check Garmin in the morning, I was up for 2.5hours before I left. I think I could have pushed a bit more after the initial hills.

Test out new shorts on a longer run. So I got new shorts. They are my first pair of 'short' shorts. My normal running shorts are just around/just past mid thigh. These are short. My legs don't really touch, or at least I never thought they did. Sometime around mile 5 my thighs starting burning, by mile 9 they were on fire. I do not think this really effected my race much, except that it added some serious pain. I thought I lubed up well, but didnt go down far enough.

Walk for 2min, get in line for the massage. AWESOME massage. Best post-race massage, it was long and my shoulder was really bothering me and the guy worked on it for a long time, I couldn't even raise my arm after the race.

Grabbed a bottle of water and ate a few half-oranges. There was a ton of food back at some place that wasn't the finish, but I had to go and pick up my daughter.


Garmin. Lack of splits after the 9th or 10th mile. Overall good race, possibly could have been faster with the Garmin, but not sure how much I would have been.



Honestly, they had everything setup perfect. Shops had post-race discounts, tons of free food I skipped out on. Only improvement would have been Gatorade or something similar at the water stations.
