ran the race pretty much the way I planned. Hayes street hill seemed to go on forever. started my final kick a little to soon but ran the entire distance, my longest run ever. :)
What would you do differently?:

train more on hills. take a gu at 30 minutes instead of 45

Good job! That's a nice pace considering the juggernaut that is Hayes St Hill. If you've done any hill training at all you can pass about 1000 people there, as long as they give you room to get through the crowd. Looks like you picked up the pace as the race went along, too, which is always a sign of being a strong runner at that distance. I'm surprised you say it's your longest run ever.

Unfortunately I had to miss this race this year. Always seems like something comes up.
