 Run
Comments: Very happy with my performance overall. Typical for me started first mile slow but quickly got into rhythm. At 4 1/2 miles saw the leaders coming back toward us. Man those guys/gals make it look easy, effortless. It's like they're floating over the ground. Felt great until around 8 miles (once entered back into park) when I started to feel the effects of what was likely a little too fast pace, not enough fluid for amount I was losing, through the first 8 miles. In park we entered woods which blocked wind that had been keeping me and my 2 shirts cool. While I didn't get a split for miles 8 and 9 I could feel I had started slowing. Splits: Mile 1: 9:13 Mile 2: 8:18 Mile 3: 8:19 Mile 4: 8:10 Mile 5: 8:14 (Gel + ~5oz water slowly) Miles 6&7: 16:38 for 2 miles, missed the 6 mile marker Miles 8&9: 17:07 for 2 miles, missed the 8 mile marker Mile 10: 8:30 Wore my Fuel Belt so that I would have Acclerade which I know I tolerate as well as flask of water for gel. Despite having this didn't drink enough (5 oz Acclerade and 5 oz water). What would you do differently?: Drink more! At around 7 miles wasn't sure if my stomach would tolerate more Accelerade so stopped drinking. Go with only 1 shirt on top and/or ditch the hat. Wearing the baseball cap (which I seldom do) helped me retain heat so having 2nd shirt was probably a little too much and kept me a little too warm. Was drenched when I finished.  Post race
Warm down: Walked around for about 10 minutes, recovery drink, stretched. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing. I had set a goal of breaking 1:25:00 for this race and did so. There were certainly learnings that I can use for future races but very satistied with my peformance. Last updated: 2005-10-24 12:00 AM

47F / 8C
Overcast
Overall Rank = 125/375
Age Group = 30-39
Age Group Rank = 27/38
2 mini bagels w/ PB; cup of coffee 3.5 h prior to start
Gel 20 minutes prior to start
Arrived at site 1 hour before start, walked around to see if I could find Captain Rob. No luck after about 10 minutes so went back to car to stay warm. It was cold and windy. Fortunately no rain.
About 20 minutes before start walked around a little, stretched, tried to figure out what to wear given the temperature and wind. Stomach felt very empty (should've had more solids ~1 1/2 h before race) took gel/water. Opted for shorts, moisture wicking long sleeve jersey and a Dri fit lightweight long sleeve, baseball cap and gloves.
