Comments:

The beginning of the race was cold and windy, but I knew I should warm up fairly quickly. The turn around at mile 6.5 at least put most of the wind at my back. I kept fairly consist pacing until mile 10/11, when I felt like it was starting to come apart. Fortunately I caught a second wind and was able to finish strong during the last couple of miles.
What would you do differently?:

I'd been training for my first marathon, but didn't really take the long run lessons to heart for this race. I think in the future I will at least attempt to drink and take some nutrition for a half marathon. I was less than a minute away from my PR, so maybe I will be able to get there again!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Some dehydration.

Course: The course is deceptively hilly. You would think that a beach road in Florda would be flat, but there are some definite ups and downs on this course. Add the wind in, and it was tough.
