Run
Comments: Run went well. In my haste to get dressed and get the proper clothes on for therain, I managed to leave my watch at the hotel. I wasn't trying to set any records, so I was just going to run a nice comfortable pace. I ran with a guy for the first 16 miles, but then he dropped back. Ran 1:47:30 for the first half. I actually felt better the second half of the race. I did slow a bit, but never felt too bad. Never walked more than 20ft thru any water stops, and really felt good til ~24.5 or so. managed to hold it together and finished pretty strong. Best I'v'e felt through an entire race. We got very lucky with the rain - calling for storms all morning. It sprinkled for the first 2 miles, but then it cleared off and began sprinkling again at mile 25. 5 minutes after finishing, it started to pour, and it poured the entire rest of teh day. What would you do differently?: nothing Post race
Warm down: there was no one waiting for a massage, so I was able to get a massage. It started pouring down rain right as I finished. I was actually able to jog the ~600m back to my car and didn't feel too bad. What limited your ability to perform faster: nothing Event comments: Nice small race. Well organized. Boring course, though Last updated: 2014-04-14 12:00 AM
