Comments:

Felt like I was holding back. I started with an easy pace, and never felt uncomfortable. I did push towards the last 4 miles and did some good mile splits
What would you do differently?:

I was unsure after biking on Saturday how my legs would feel. I was cautious because of that. I could have gone out harder, but this was actually my 2nd best 1/2 marathon time ever, so, I am pleased with the performance
Post race
Warm down:

EZ jog, stretching, took in fluid/food right away. Did cold/hot therapy in pool/hot tub as soon as I got home. Finished with an Endurox R4 Recovery Drink.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My cautious approach to the run, after a Saturday bike ride that was pretty aggressive. Headwind on the return section of the course limited ability to really run fast.

Event comments:

This is by far most favorite 1/2 marathon course. I love the flat course, and it is Super Bowl Sunday.
