First half of race felt great. Ran the first half in 64 mins. Only stopped 3 times for water stops. Second half was a little slower at 70 mins. Really struggled that last mile.

Nothing except possibly use another gel around mile 10. Only used one at mile 7.

Nothing bad to say about this race. For the inaugural race I think it went very well. This will be a race to put on my schedule again next year. Lots of volunteers, excellent traffic control, awesome post race food!
