Comments:

I started out at a 7:45 pace for the first couple of miles. Then I just started running by feel which was around the 7:30 range. I was able to grind out many miles without feeling too bad. At mile 15 I started feeling hungry. I took a get at mile 16 and immediately developed a side stitch. It took a couple of miles to breath through the cramp. At mile 18 I reached the wall so to speak. I decided to suffer through the pain and keep up the solid effort already behind me. I was able to hold pace and decided at the 23 mile mark that I was going to be able to BQ. I lumbered to the finish with a couple of minutes to spare. My training partner was there to meet me with a high five and he qualified too!

Event comments:

This is a runners race! It is fast and flat.

I took two gels, 16 endurolytes, and a bag of sports beans during the race. I mainly drank water.
