Comments:

Intended 7-minute miles. First mile felt so good that I just kept going.

Drinking water at aid stations combined with the 4-mile climb made my stomach sick. Stopped taking water after mile 5 or 6 and it helped.

Overall, an excellent race. I ran a good pace and felt like I had given it everything by the finish.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe I should have had more steady pacing, but I think with the hills the fluctuations are fine.
Post race
Warm down:

4 minutes of very slow jogging, then standard stretches.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My stomach.

Event comments:

This was my second boilermaker. It is a perfect run, except for some congestion in the first four miles if you are seeded higher than 2000. I plan to run it every year for the rest of my life and I highly recommend it.

Whoops, I meant that it's 9.3 MILES...not kilometers. So I ran 6:52 per MILE. Haha that makes a big difference.
