I stayed at the condo again the night before the race.  I had a great time hanging out with the girls.  We made our own pasta dinner.  It was yummy.  I took 3/4 of an Ambien at about 10:00 and slept great until the alarm went off at 4:00 a.m. 

As soon as we got to the start, we got in line for the Port-A-Potties.  The lines were not moving.  We were still about 3 people away when the gun went off.  I was so bumbed we didn't get to start with the 3:30 pace group along with Dean and Jody.  

I started with Angela and Michelle.  Michelle decided to hold back after the 1st mile.  I ran with Angela until mile 11.  She was having some tummy problems.  I waited for her twice, but by the 3rd time I decided I'd better just keep on going.   

I felt really good.  I wanted a 3:30 so bad.  The slower first two miles put me behind and I never could made up that time.  I am little disappointed with my time but it was still over a 4 minute PR.   The best part of the whole race was that I didn't have to stop to go to the bathroom even once.  That's never happened before.  I even had a negative split by over 2 minutes.

My splits were 8:46, 8:24, 7:44, 7:42, 7:46, 8:21, 7:26, 8:46, 8:33, 8:14, 8:26, 8:38, 7:41, 7:44, 7:29, 7:41, 7:35, 8:01, 8:08, 7:53, 7:36, 8:07, 8:05, 7:56, 8:21 and 8:34.

I took a gu miles 5, 11, 17 and 21.  I drank gatorade at the other stops. 

It was so great to hang out with everyone after the race.  It was a fun day.
