Comments: The first several miles were good as I thought I may just be able to pull off a PR from my fastest 7:47 pace. Then as I got about half way, I slowed a little and hoped to just break an 8 minute pace. By the final third of the race, my low back was hurting and my hip flexors felt like they were going to give out. I had a feeling I wouldn't break 1:45 but did my absolute best to finish as strong as possible. What would you do differently?: I don't think I could've done much differently. With all the minor overuse injuries, my kinetic chain is just not functioning 100%. I did PR for this particular course but overall I was slightly disappointed. Post race
Warm down: Tried to hustle back to the car, now slightly damp and freezing. Wished we hadn't parked almost a mile away! What limited your ability to perform faster: Injuries, head congestion. Last updated: 2012-10-19 12:00 AM

Ate my oatmeal in the car, drank water.
Lightly jogged the 3/4 mile from where we parked to the race start.
