Comments:

Perhaps I went out a tad too quickly. This seems d I am to be a bit of a trend and i find myself struggling in the last mile or so. Same thing happened in the 1/2 marathon 2 weeks ago and the last 2 miles were miserable.
What would you do differently?:

go a little slower to begin and negative split. Only been running for less than a year after smoking 20 a day for about 18 years. I am liking my progress!!!!!

Warm down:

Not alot, found the beer and watched the awards. I actually came 3rd in my age group so I got an award. My first ever!!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Going out a little too fast

Event comments:

I will certainly do this again next year. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will try to get others to run it.

Performance: Good
Course: Very nice course I liked this one. Not too many people. Water stations seemed a little few and far between. For some reason the turn aroud was way past the half way point and as this was my first time i hit the turn around at 27 something and so i was pretty disapointed. Kept going and then at the 5 mile mark I was at 41 plus and I was back on track. I will have to remember this for next year.
Keeping cool Average Drinking Just right
