Notes
Tough course, tough race. Was able to get out in front of the congestion much better than last year (though I was still a bit slowed). Had hoped to run 6:55-7:15 for most of the flat miles, try not to lose too much on the hill, and run 58:xx. Things did not go quite to plan, but I did just get in under 60. The real disappointment is that I couldn't pick it up after the hill like last year, and my splits for miles 6-8 were about the same as last year. Actual splits (by mile marker rather than by Garmin autolap):
6:59
7:05
7:13
7:47 (start of hill)
8:38 (completely in hill)
7:28
7:24
7:17
Ugh.
