Total Time = 1h 45m 41s
Overall Rank = 123/451

Age Group Rank = 6/18

Pre-race routine:

Granola cereal at home then coffee to go......parked at the stadium and walked around for 30min to keep warm.

Event warmup:

Not much to do but wait for the start.

Run

1h 45m 41s
13.1 miles
08m 04s min/mile

Comments:

Took a hammer gel at the turn with a cup of H20. Knew I had a good pace going compared to training. Felt good so went with it. A little worried at mile 5 so I backed off a bit.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing....very pleased to drop 5+ minutes from my 1/2 mary last year. Similar course (ie rails to trails...flat).

Post race

Warm down:

Stretching and walking.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I think I will start closer to the front next time. If I run 8min pace and start behind 10 people running the same pace..no chance to pass them...by simply starting in front of them I should finish before them. I always start conservatively...maybe be more aggressive.

Event comments:

Nice race, well organized and plenty of volunteers. Always good when PRs abound!
