Light stretching, accelerations

Comments:

Most of the race went according to plan. I was really comfortable to the raceway, then after that it was pushing through to the finish. I made most of my time in the middle third.
What would you do differently?:

I executed 80% of my race very well, the only thing I would have done differently is cut back my early pace about 5 sec/mi. It would have made the last 3 miles easier to finish.
Post race
Warm down:

The usual post race food, drink, and walking.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Can't say there was any limiters, I beat my personal goad by over 2:00 so that in itself is great. The fact that I was in the top 500 finishers was really cool, they give you another medal for that.

Event comments:

This is the biggest and one of the best 1/2 Marathons, a must do on anyones list. I am really glad I did. Now, on to the triathlons...

Great performance, top 500 and sub 1:30 are major milestones. We must have been around each other at the start and didn't know it, but with that may people my brother could have been in the same corral and I wouldn't have seen him. Nice job again and good luck with your season.
