Notes
I hopped into this race and ran as Justin Gordon. Since I was up far enough to place I had to stop short of the finish in order not to screw things up.
It was a beautiful day for a run. I started a bit late and behind the leaders so I really had to work my way up. I bumped into Kevin Heckman at about mile three and ran with him to about mile 8. I took a gel at mile 8 and decided to catch a couple of guys ahead of me.
Aside from my calves and achilles being really sore I felt strong. But I didn't have a good rhythm overall which kind of bothered me. At the beginning I felt like I was pushing it and it was unnatural. The last half felt a bit more natural. I was happy that I could stay consistent and running rather negative splits overall. At least the last half was stronger than the first half. My plantar fascia really bothered me afterwards.
