Pre-race routine:

Routine? I attempted to follow a training plan, but I didn't get my weekly times in.
Event warmup:

No warm up as I figured I'd have 13 miles to warm up.
Run

  • 13.1 miles
  • 08m 40s  min/mile
Comments:

I ran well. I slowed down after the 11 mile mark as my running partner stopped to stretch. I still pushed, but probably not as hard as I could have. However, I was very satisfied with my run performance.
What would you do differently?:

I would attempt to follow the training plan more strictly. I'm not sure I would have finished a whole lot faster, but I think I would feel better near the end of the race.
Post race
Warm down:

A brief walk through the food area! I drank a TON after the race!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My legs were getting really tight at the 12 mile mark, but that's when the most people were present to cheer us on.

Event comments:

I should have taken an extra Gu with me as I planned. I decided no to take it last minute as I didn't have an extra pocket. I would have taken it at mile 10 or 11 and maybe wouldn't have felt so crampy.
