Comments:

Great race. Folks went out very hard. Pace was high all the way into Marion. I was in the right group but I didn't take care of myself.
What would you do differently?:

Better nutrition and hydration plan. Use fuel on race course instead of lugging my own around. That means training with gatorade. cary extra water bottles in my jersey pockets.
