Comments:

Pretty good for my first long endurance event. To this point, I've only done sprint Tri's and 5K's. 1:45 was my stretch goal, with a sub 2:00 run being my realistic goal. I came in right between them.

Even though I run in Phoenix, this was damn hot.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. I probably need to work on my pace on my longer runs, rather than just doing the distance.

Warm down:

The heat
