Comments:

Went out just a hair to fast and paid a little on the back end but overall not too bad. With my size the heat just starts building and it really hurt from mile 9 in. It was about 75 at race time and in the 80s when I finished. Decent amount of shade.
What would you do differently?:

Back off the first 6 miles about 10 seconds per mile. Might have been able to make it back on the last 6 miles. Splits were, based on the mile markers on the course and my watch, no Garmin:
