Comments:

I ran with the 2:00 pace group, but had to fall back a bit. I ran a personal best 2:09, shaving 25 minutes off my best at this distance. Must be all of this Ironman training.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing, was a good race for me.

Post race

Warm down:

Walk, stretching, ice bath when I got home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

More time needed to improve overall run endurance.

Event comments:

Nice race, great volunteers, great swag, great shirts, medals are nice, post-race snacks were great, plenty of water stops with Gatorade, overall was a great race. Perfect day!
