Thoughts:
- I am disappointed with my overall finish time and average pace. I just don't understand why I can not run under 2 hours.
- The course was very hilly, but I felt as if I maintained my pace well through those parts of the race.
- At the first mile, the police officer directed us to a wrong turn. I, and other runners, ran an extra 1/2 mile in total due to his error. I don't really think that this affected my overall time too much except that perhaps I overcompensated and ran too fast at first to make up the distance in order to get back on track.
- I really need to think through my training and decide if I want to just run or if I want to run to race faster. I am really at a crossroad. I'm pretty discouraged because whatever I try just does not seem to work.
