Comments:

Perfect weather. Ran well. Calf tighted around mile 1.5. Really started to hurt around mile 9.69. REALLY wanted sub 2 so gutted it out.

Previous PR was 2:01 So am happy.

Think I could go sub 1:50 if I was in perfect health.

Run tips from Julie Swail really helped.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. It was a good run, and I can't control when things are gonna hurt in a race, so just deal with it.
Post race
Warm down:

Hobble over to the beer garden. Drink 1/4 of a Michelob Select. Dispose of the rest and hobble back to the car and wait for g/f and her sister to finish walking the course.

Drink a bottle of water, eat banana and margarita cliff shots.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Grade one strain in right calf.
