Notes
LA Marathon
88th male
2:53:13
Overall I am satisfied with the race. The starting temperature was 57 degrees and warmed to 70 by midway. I was a bit concerned about the weather and how the heat would impact my performance. Therefore I ran under control for probably much farther than I should have. I ended up feeling quite good over the last 3 miles.
The course was hilly for the first 6 miles, big steep downhills and big steep uphills. It was hard to get into a rhythm early on. The final 4 miles are lightning fast.
Thoughts on fueling. I need to practice eating something before the race. Much like IM in the fall I felt light headed and low on fuel early in the race. I really needed each of my 3 gu's.
