Comments:

Very windy from the north so the middle 13 or so was into the wind. Was right on pace for my 3:15 goal through 18 miles. Then my left hip tightened up and eventually led to a hamstring cramp at about mile 24.
What would you do differently?:

I few more long runs and some work to strengthen hips and butt.

none

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Tight hip and hammmy
