Performance Comments:
Very strong first half, didn't know what to expect for an overall time. Happy with performance, I have only been really training for a month.

What Would You Do Different?
Came out of the gate too fast, averaged 7 min. miles for the race. First half was 640's second half 720's. Very hilly course and lost my legs at about 9 miles.
