Comments:

Running 10 miles in my flats on this course = badly bruised toes. There was not a single drink station on the first 5 mile lap, my mouth was dry and I was thirsty!
What would you do differently?:

Dress warmer.
Post race
Warm down:

Ran to the car to get my heavier clothes, drank lots of fluids.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Ehhh still workin on the speed thing...

Event comments:

I am happy with this race because I have my first 1/2 mary coming up on Thanksgiving and this gave me confidence to get a decent time at it. One thing I have come to learn over the past year is that middle aged guys who are half decent at sports like triathlon and running can be extremely pretentious. Seriously, get over yourself....
