I ran this as strictly a training run as part of a road trip with my friend.  The conditions were great until we turned south at mile 16.5.  The next 9.7 miles were against winds steady at 30 and gusting even higher.  I actually felt great at the end and would have easily been under 3:30 if not for the wind.  My injury held up pretty well too.
