Thought this would be an easy course as relatively flat, running in the dark for the first hour and thru rain and wind made it more challenging. Was not my best time but ended up 1st in AG and 39 overall. The rain did keep the temps down and sun came out about mile 8.
What would you do differently?:

Definitely need to get the pace better - should have been sub 8:00 minute miles this course

Really went for the vacation and to get a race in and had a great time. The people were fantastic and the vibe great. Would highly recommend as a destination run for a fun race atmosphere. Course was more challenging than I thought based on weather.

I signed up for Ironman Frankfurt, next year July - and I am very excited about it. I originally planned to run my first Marathon in the middle of September, but am not sure if this is wise.

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
