Comments: This went much better than expected. I started off in between the 4-5th corral and was able to hit a comfortable pace pretty quickly even with all the people. My Garmin was messed and said I ran my first km in 4:04 which I definitely didn't and then for the rest of the race it was off. I settled into a 8:30-9 min/mi pace. I was initially thinking that I wouldn't be able to hold on but decided to just see how far I could take it. I must have been +++ sick for Victoria last fall (hence the pneumonia after) but I didn't have any of the bone jarring achiness that I had during that race. Really nice course, lots of volunteer and spectator support throughout the course. What would you do differently?: Well actually training would be interesting. CARMS and travel got in the way between Jan-Feb...so I'm excited to see what happens in a few months in Washington when I have been training! Post race
Warm down: Walked to the meet and greet area. Had choc milk, water, gatorade, 2 post race beers! What limited your ability to perform faster: Not properly training. Still pretty happy none the less. Last updated: 2012-11-04 12:00 AM

Had 2 pieces of toast and some water. Walked down to the race start via Bourbon Street and learned how the city cleans up after a Saturday night in New Orleans. Haha. Pressure washers and street sweepers.
Saw many a people still drinking in the bars, making out in the street.
Just over a mile walk from the house to race start
