I don't particularly condone a ton of Peanut M&M's and Black Pepper Jack Doritos (roughly 1500 calories of junk) as a pre-race evening meal, but it seemed to work out just fine for me. Good grief.

While I pretty achy the last couple miles, I had enough gas left. When I tried to pick up the pace a couple times in the last mile, however, my right calf started cramping. I really didn't want to hobble in and maybe miss setting a PR, so I backed off and kept the pace steady through the finish. Was pleased to have had only a couple instances of raggedy breathing that passed pretty quickly. Am so stoked to have set a PR! My training has been incredibly erratic, my nutrition has been crap, and I've not felt particularly stellar for over a month now. Chalk it up to being well-rested :-) and to the very SPECTACULAR weather!! Cold is good!

I think I missed Mile Marker 1 last year, too.
Mile Marker 11 must have been right at a water
station. There may have been a marker at 13, but
I was too focused on the end and keeping my calf
from cramping to notice.
