Not enough training before hand.

Event comments:

Okay, my biggest beef with this race is the start. What is the sense of putting up pace markers when there are two roads leading to the starting chute. Then again - its hard to manage 2500 people. BTW - it was interesting watching the fights between the runners and the cyclists

I read your logs and it was like I was reading my own. My Garmin said the exact same thing. And my heart rate was almost identical. It was hot Sunday and I couldn't find my happy pace either. White Rock will be better.

 Edited to add:  Yeah, right.  Fat, Old Bald guy?  Dude, you are a machine!  The only part of that is true is the bald part.

Fat old bald guy, I am not buying it.

Your a Marathon Maniac and this was a good tuneup for DWR next month. Great job out there
