Comments:

Humidity was extremely high this morning so I went out a little cautious and made sure to drink at every aid station. There were 9,000 timed runners, so there was some weaving in and out for the first couple of miles.

I kept telling myself it was ok if I had to slow down and didn't get a PR today. Pace felt good the whole time and at the end when I knew I could PR, I picked up the pace.


What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Was happy with my effort and time in this weather.
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed some water and food. Ate the banana and then headed back to the car. Stretched at the car before heading home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

humidity

Event comments:

I love this race. Lots of people dress in costumes and it's fun to see. It's a very well supported race even though it's so big.
