Kept myself to 10:00-10:30 on the way to the turnaround. After the turnaround the wheels just came off. Most miles were about 11 min after that. I took 2 gels and ate some gummies. Water or gatorade at each stop. I peed behind a tree around mile 8.5 and really needed to.
What would you do differently?:

pee right before the start!
Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

training, having to pee.

Event comments:

Definitely leave time for parking. My family dropped me off which was great. Long lines for registration but they moved fast. Started a little late- they said due to parking issues but I hate starting late.
Also- big peeve- it was chip timed but no starting mat, so you time started at the gun. That cost me a couple of minutes.

Course: out-and-back along a river. Some shade but not much because the trees don't have leaves yet. There is quite a grade to the road- in many places the sides have a real slant; it's impossible to always run on level ground. no hills to speak of.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
