Comments:

I didn't get to start as fast as I wanted because there are just so many people. I think that kind of hindered me, because I just settled into a pace that was slower. My first mile came in at 7:43, whereas in a smaller race last July my first mile was 6:20. Almost right at mile 2 I started feeling sick to my stomach and didn't really feel like I had anything left. I slowed down for about 7 seconds, but then resumed my pace to the finish since I wasn't going that fast anyway. Missed my goal by almost two minutes. :(

What would you do differently?:

Train harder.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Sick to my stomach feeling. Never thrown up in a race before, but thought I might on this one.
