Well, it was a good race as far as my performance and my goals went. The rain slowed me down, I ended up with a terrible cramp in my right foot (I think it was due to having wet shoes and feet for 26 miles.) I bonked real hard at mile 22 after I had a very long pee break, I couldn't get my speed back after this point. I would have almost certainly broken 3:35 if I hadn't over hydrated and ended up having to slow down for so long.
Overall this race met my expectations.
I was happy to meet Jodie she was super nice and she did a great job! And to think she has four kids! It is now hours after the race and I am very very sore. The race was super well organized and I loved it. I think I would like to do it again.
