Comments:

I started at the back of the yellow wave. Not too crowded the 1st mile and hit the time I wanted to. I kept a steady pace throughout hoping to make the push at 6. By 8.5 my legs were shot and it was stuggle to maintain form even when Bill Rodgers passed me!! 17 seconds slower than last year but I was still pleased with the time (but not my finish).

What would you do differently?:

Wait until 7 to make the push.

Post race

Warm down:

Nothing.

Event comments:
