Notes
Felt good the first 8 miles. Crowds were terrific and was helping Meagan and Sarah with pace. Around 11 legs started to ache and had a feeling it was going to be a long day. Pace kept getting slower and was feeling worse. Felt like dropping from 14 on but kept pushing forward. Made a goal to finish and not walk. Last several miles were hell but ended up kicked really well the last .2. When crossed the finish had dizziness and ended up getting carried to the medical tent. Had a liter of iv fluids pumped into me, multiple water bottles and gatorade. Went thru chills and severe cramps. The temperature climbed alot during the race so the last part was probably 70s and it was sunny. Mainly did not hydrate enough and legs were achy before even started. Splits were 6.06, 5.58, 6.01, 6, 6.02, 6.07, 6.09, 6.17, 6.36, 6.40, 6.17, 6.22, 6.20, 6.31, 6.40, 6.41, 7.02, 6.57, 6.55, 7.17, 7.47, 6.44, 7.20, 7.56, 7.53, 7.14, 1.25...1.21/1.33 half splits. Course was fair but good hill at 8 and 15 plus alot of turns on the course. 7th in age group, 49th overall. 6.40 pace. 37.47 at 10k, 61 at 10 miles, 1.20.41 at half. 2.08.04 at 20 miles.
