Total Distance

Had a great race today, my goal was 4 hours since I was unable to really train as much for this race. When I got to the race I wasn't able to get back far enough to start with the 4 hour pace group so I started some where between them and the 3:50 folk. Before I knew it I was with the 3:50 people and had enough in the tank the last few miles to make up even more ground. The race in general was fun, light rain the entire time, great bands and groups of fans along the way. Really, really fun. I wasn't super concerned about time also which made the race extra enjoyable for me too. Anyway, here are my splits:
