Notes
Hot, hot, hot and hilly race. Very slow start because of bottleneck of people. First mile at 9:52 bummed me out and I spent the next couple miles trying to pick up pace. Got to mile 5 in 42:16 and was very hot wondering how I'd handle the rest of the hills. Took my time on downhills to try and recoup. Didn't get enough water, maybe 4-5 total quick sips and poured the rest down my back. Took Gu at mile 8ish and going back up 450 bridge was very slow plus there was a headwind. The last mile was brutal and I was barely running to the finish. Found one little last kick in me to cross the line with some speed but not my usual gusto. I blame the heat.
