Comments: When the wave started I started out a little too fast but with the help of my new Garmin I was able to bring it down while everyone else sprinted out. I passed a lot of them before we hit mile 1 and they were all walking. Felt I had a great run though. What would you do differently?: I went a little heavy on the gels. I used a powerade gel gummy pre race and a gel a t 6 and one at 9. I think I could have done without one of the gels and around mile 11 my stomach got a little upset although not enough to slow me down, if I had to run longer than 13.1 I think it may have become an issue.  Post race
Warm down: Walked around and stretched while I waited at the finish for my friend to cross. About 20 minutes. What limited your ability to perform faster: My longest run to date was 10 miles due to injury setting me back about 4 weeks on my training. Other than than I am very happy with my run. Event comments: Full marathon next year? Maybe.. Last updated: 2011-07-01 12:00 AM

Woke up at 3:45 AM. Usual breakfast - toast w/pb&j, banana, coffee.
Went to the hotel to meet a friend that was running plus I got free parking!
Traffic was heavier than I though so we were running a little behind schedule. Got to the event later than I wanted. Did find a spot to do some light jogging for about 15 minutes before the race.
