Comments:

Ran good, started in corral B I should have moved up to the back of corral A, because I got stuck behind some slower runners and my first mile was around 7:30 I was trying to stay around 6:50. I had to pick up the pace to get my average back down. I ran strong staying under 7 min/mile most of the way and finished strong with a 6:45. I ran the whole race with no gels only water and Gatorade given at the stops and I was fine. It was a great day to run low temps, cloudy and no wind, I wish I was in a little better run shape so I could have broke 1:30 but I'll take the 1:31 it was still a PR.

What would you do differently?:

Start closer to the front of my corral, other than that I ran the best I could for my fitness level

Post race

Warm down:

walked around and talked then walked back to hotel

What limited your ability to perform faster:

not enough mileage and slow start

Event comments:

Love this race very fun and lots of great volunteers.
