Comments:

I'm going to guess that the AG rank and the overall rank is not correct. My guess is they just put my 22.2 time in with the 26.2 people and came up with that garbage. Whatevs. Anyway it was a good run. I felt strong throughout. It was nice and cool and I had a couple gels and lots of water and Gatorade so it was pretty much spot on. Sadly with a few miles left the tornados and storms moved in so we got pushed to the finish.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Post race

Warm down:

Walk to the car and sat there for a couple hours waiting for traffic to clear. Nashville PD sucks. Four motorcycle cops on one intersection, zero getting people actually OUT of the parking lot. Three of the cops were chatting in the rain while one worked.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The tornado.
