Comments:

I viewed this as my long training run, so I planned to keep the effort level very easy. I took about 2 miles to get warmed up, then ran through mile 6 just at cruising speed. It felt very easy and good.
Had a gel right before the 2nd water stop only to discover that the water was gone and had to wash it down with gatorade. Blech.
I decided to forgo the 3:1 run/walk ratio that I had been doing in training. I just didn't want to slow down any more. During the faster last 5k of the race, I did notice my knee twinging a bit more. Still, I felt good and finished feeling strong!
What would you do differently?:

Maybe I should have kept my 3:1 run/walk ratio for the second half of the race.

Warm down:

Walked around and got some water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing except maybe my knee and trying to keep from irritating it.

Event comments:

This is a fun event, and I love running on Sullivan's Island. I will definitely do it again.
