What would you do differently?:

Goal time of 1:59, so good pacing overall. Had allot left at end, so could of started out faster. Ran 9:30's first half. Picked up pace and ran 8:30's 2nd half. Wanted to finish strong after blowing up at 10M during Derby MiniMarathon and walk/running to the finish.

Post race

Warm down:

Water, Gatorade G2, Banana. Put sweats on because started to shake from being cold.

Event comments:

Disappointed with quality of race shirts and medals. Very little swag except for some Hammer nutrition products (gel and electrolyte sample). For $60, feel they could of been much nicer.
