Comments:

Treated this like a normal training day, weather did not cooperate so I was just not energized about the race atmosphere. I felt I started too far back, I did too much passing for the first mile.Mile 2 felt o.k. but twards the end I was breathing fairly hardRight at mile 3 was an aid sttation and I grabbed a water for 2 sips and walked for about 10 yards and started fot the finish. It was obvious that I have lost much of the run endurance that I had, I had no gears left fo the finish. Bob passed me with about 500 yards to go and all I could do was tag along behind.
What would you do differently?:

Continue to build volume with my runs.
