Comments:

had a great run, first mile I ran with my sister (her first race longer then a 5k) but then I left because I was going for a PR. Felt good the whole run, I hit mile 10 a little later then I hoped for (1hr 37min 31sec) and realized that if I wanted to be close to 2hrs I really had to push the last 5k. I was wearing my WarOnALS suit and when I heard someone yell GO BLAZEMAN, I felt like I grew wings and really began to dig deep. Finished strong and was happy with a PR 8minutes better then the half-marathon in October 2007.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around, ate fruits, sandwitch, had a beer

What limited your ability to perform faster:

nothing, my running improved this fall and this race was right on par where I though I would be

Great PR out there.  Not doing an endo on your bike before running a half marathon sure helps, doesn't it.
