Run
Comments: Big race over 4000 folks - so the first mile plus was hard. My first half mile split was truly slow ad it was a open water swim - just thrashing, I picked out some folks to follow early on to keep distracted. It was very humid - I wish I knew how much true weight I lost but I sweated through everything. What would you do differently?: I positioned myself at the start I thought well - maybe more to the front. I had a good pace into the last two mile - the last 1.5 miles is really tough - Laurel Hill Rd was no joke what so ever Post race
Warm down: Got my medal a bottle of water and banana; hit the bathroom then the post-race stuff. Met up with my daughter outside the stadium- she had run her race, gotten a shower and was back - she finished 3rd in her age group. What limited your ability to perform faster: The weather? have a cold - but I was pleased in the performance Event comments: Excellent race - the chance to run through Chapel Hill including up and down Franklin Street is just plain cool. Iconic race in the state. Truly enjoyed it Last updated: 2015-04-15 12:00 AM

Drove up Friday in the afternoon. Checked into my hotel. picked up my credntial and my daugthers. My daughter had to switch to the 4 miler due to injury. Dinner at Chopotle and then a course preview. Dropped my daughter off and in bed by 10:30
Up at 5:30am - brought oatmeal with me for breakfast. Met up with my daughter in her dorm and was osite by like 6:45am
Did an active warmup with my daughter and hit the bathroom - they use the football stadium so plenty of bathrooms.
Ate a gel before the start
