Notes
9 hours sleep, V8, yogurt, half bagel and cream cheese and coffee breakfast. Race started at sunrise, so cool at the start (55) raising to the 60s as the sun came up. Flattest course I've ever been on. Liked it! That killer hill that's usually there never materialized :) Went in hoping to simply break 2:10:00, But 9:30 felt comfortable, so I just kept at it. Funny having all these people pass me in in the first few miles, then passing them in the second half. Felt very strong at 10K, so I went for the reverse split and pretty much did it. Last mile a bit hard, especially when you passed the finish on one side before the turnaround a half mile or so later. The last half on the boardwalk was on a weaving concrete path - kinda painful. The wooden boardwalk was only the last 100 yards. Overall it was a very fun race.
