Comments:

I tried to do negative splits by watching my heart rate.The first five miles averaged about 155. The second five around 163. The last three were only about 160. The last two miles are almost all up hill and I just could not get my heart rate up any higher.I ate a gel after about an hour,drank sport drink,and ate some power bar balls

What would you do differently?:

I finished over 19 munutes faster than the same race last year. So I am pleased with that.
