Comments:

My calf was letting me run at about a 9:30 pace comfortably. Not sure about how the hills would work with it but I managed to climb them all except the last. It gets pretty steep about half way up and got painful so I walked it and got a gel down at the same time.

Overall I felt much better than expected considering the limited amount of long run training I have done lately.

What would you do differently?:

Wake up on time.

Post race

Warm down:

Lots of food at the finish and the wind was whipping through pretty good. We had planned to stay for UofL's final open practice but did not bring a dry shirt and I was freezing so we left.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Calf pain.
