Comments:

Wanted to run the first 7 miles at 61 minutes. And then evaluate from there. I actually hit 7 miles at about 58:30 and felt GREAT! The heart rate was pretty good and the legs felt great. I maintained that pace till about mile 11 and gradually kicked up the pace to finish strong.

Running across those bridges was a joy. It was bouncing and made your legs feel like jelly. Not a good thing at that point in the race.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. It was a pretty good run for me.

Warm down:

Stretched pretty good immediately after the race. Came home and sat in the bathrub.
