This was a personal best for me! My overall pace has never been below 9:00/ miles, so his was pretty exciting. I felt pretty strong and confident most of the run.

Hydrate better before the race.

Nothing.

This was a real confidence builder for me. I want to run a 2 hour 1/2 Mary in my HIM, and the faster I get the more confident I am that can happen.
