Notes
Forgot my contacts, which was not a good start. Pretty crowded at the start. Took the hills at a reasonable effort, not wanting to burn myself out. Headwind and terain on the hills made my glasses bounce and it was pretty awful. After the hills fell into a pretty good rhythm. Miles 5-9 felt really great. Helped to have Matt remind me not to get too comfortable around mile 7. I think around the 10th mile we started fighting the headwind again (and glasses were a pain again). HIll at mile 12 was much worse and much farther from the finish than I remembered... started to feel sick on the hill. Took a little bit of flat after the hill to get my legs back under me. Fast finish defiinitely took all I had out of me, but I was very happy with the result. Negative split this and felt like my pacing was pretty on.
