Comments:

Went out a little fast, but comfortable. Wasn't ready for the bridge. Died on the last 3 miles. Goal was to finish under 2 hours, but fell short by 35 seconds. Still PRed by more than 10 minutes. Oh well, I guess I have to try again.

What would you do differently?:

Train specifically for the race, I switched my training plan to an Oly race plan that was last week, and did not get in enough long distance runs to be able to hold my pace.

Post race

Warm down:

Found some shade and drank my water. Texted the wife to let her know I finished.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough LSD runs during training.

Event comments:

Great race, the only disappointment was not being able to run on the main race track due to the repaving. I'll have to come back next year.
