Finished in 1:33.45 and 9th in the 50-54 age group. It was great to see so many friends at the race. Rode up on the bus with Paul, Tom and Wayne. Cory and Nathan were sitting up closer to the front of the bus. I was a little concerned with the late start, especially when we hit sunlight at about the first mile marker, but it never really got too hot. Took an eGel before the race and one at mile 8. The second one seemed to kick in around mile 11 as I finished pretty strong and know I could have pushed it harder. Average heart rate was 165. My weight post race was 152.6 (15.9% body fat). I need to finish at least a minute faster next year to place in the top three for my new age group. |
