Comments:

Paced at 8:03s. What do ya know...the heavy breathing lady was right next to me. She was pacing 7:30s/7:45s. I wished her luck. Kept pretty solid 8:03s for the 1st 3 miles. After having run 7 miles at marathon pace and 2 miles at race pace, wasn't looking for spectacular results. But again surprised myself with my overall pace.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. It will be fun to run this next year if it doesn't coincide with my 20-mile day.
Post race
Warm down:

Sat around and finished my bagel and banana. Waited for results to post. Procrastinated starting my run back home (6.5 miles back). Run back was MISERABLE. Ended up walking much of the way, but maintained overall 11:35 pace. Ate at SUBWAY and drove home from 140th...

What limited your ability to perform faster:

9 miles of running before the race.

Event comments:

Just glad to have my 20-mile day over. Another 20-miler next Saturday, and then TAPER!!!!!!!!!!
