Comments: Very happy with run time. Wanted to beat 2:15. I know I ran a negative split because I was averaging 10-10:30 on the way out, but 9-9:30 on return (forgot to hit the lap button on my Garmin - DOH!). Strong finish. What would you do differently?: Get in the starting chute earlier and get closer to the front. I probably could have made up some time in the early miles and come in closer to 2:00.  Post race
Warm down: Truck was parked close to finish line - changed clothes and had Recoverite and water post-race with some fruit. Walked around and waited for my friend to come in about 15 minutes later. What limited your ability to perform faster: A little more training and starting closer to the front would result in sub-2:00 1/2 marathon - my goal for the next one. Event comments: Very fun and festive race. Early start time makes it pleasant and cool for running. Flat course is fast! Last updated: 2011-10-21 12:00 AM

EARLY WAKE UP CALL! A 5:30 start time and wanted to be there by 4:30 to park and prep. Got up at 3:00 a.m., had smoothie prepared the night before, filled coffee cup and was ready to go.
Snagged a great parking spot close to starting line, but it took a long time to get ready, hit the port-a-john, and it was time to go. Used first mile as warm up because they didn't line us up by pace, so there was a lot of bobbing and weaving until about Mile 2 when everyone stretched out.
