I ran this race with my wife and had a good time. I was amazed at how hilly the course was so it would have been pretty pointless to really try to run fast anyway. I'm even more amazed that the guy who won ran a 2:33. He has to be an Olympic caliber runner on a more normal course.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing al all!

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
