Comments:

Forgot timing chip, therefore not officially timed. Frozen for the first mile then started to warm up. Started getting cold again about mile 9 and never warmed up again after that. Drank at each station, two cups at last station. I was actually thirsty at last station. Probably should have consumed more earlier.
What would you do differently?:

Wear gloves.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk to marta in the cold. Stretching as I went.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Limited number of long runs lately.

Event comments:

COLD and WINDY. At one point, it was sleeting. I could see my breath the whole time (I did brush my teeth). Overall, great race. Goal was to finish under 2 hr.
