Up at 4:30 AM. Had to get to the race early to avoid traffic and parking problems even though my half marathon race did not start until 8:30AM. Rained all night till about 7:30 in the morning when I had to start making my way to the starting line. Light rain started just after the race start for the first couple miles and then ended for the day.

Fueling: ate one banana about 3 hrs before the start of the race. One RCS and one Mito about an hour before the start of the race. One gel about 10 min before the start of the race. One gel and one Enduro about mile 7. Drank most of my two 10oz bottles of Heed during the race.

Course had 5 or 6 taxing inclines on the course but I managed to keep running and not walk any of them. Had a good finish to my race in that I had negative splits from mile 10 to the finish. Hope I can do the same in my next race.

Air Force Museum at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base is a must see.....Awesome.
