Boy, so many mixed feelings.  But I think they net out positive.  

First, it was so much fun to find MRC faces on the start line and out on the course!  The event was a lot of fun and there was so much energy all along the course which I was pleasantly surprised by.

The biggest hangup I encountered was side stitches, I got one as early as mile 5 (you can see I walked there), then again mile 17 and 24.  I pretty much had to walk each time it popped up.  I honestly think this was partially a response to anxiety, I was pretty nervous and had a lot of fear about just not being able to get all the way home.  Each time I walked, I would get my breathing back in control, and would be able to keep going.

I also was clearly not ready for the last 10k of this race and that's a testament to my longest run this cycle only being ~18miles. Message received, I need 20+ mile training runs. (and also higher weekly mileage in general)

Despite all of that, I'm really excited by how many miles I held at pace.  And while I really suffered that last 8miles, I feel like I see a path forward to shaving off another chunk of time next time around.
