Comments:

Stayed with the 3:30 marathon pacers to work on my pace for Little Rock marathon till mile 10 (the split). Then ramped it up to the finish.
What would you do differently?:

I needed to run an extra 4 miles after the race. I stopped for about 5 minutes before starting back out. I should have never stopped, just ran thru the finish chute because my ankle tightened up & running was very difficult after that.
Post race
Warm down:

30 minute easy run.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

not the objective for this race. I needed to stick to my planned pace.

Event comments:

They ran out of T-shirts at the expo. You check what size you want on the entry form, how can they run out? They knew how many they needed in advance. Cheap finisher shirts for half & tech shirts for the full??
