Plan: Try to stay mostly at MAF. In retrospect, I could've had a better plan for the later miles. Instead I came up with that on the fly: Run hills to get the feel for what you should do in the race.
Weather: Started at 68* and 95% humidity. The sun did come out at some point, so the humidity got somewhat better.
Wardrobe: Skora shoes, illuminite shorts and 2xu top. I wore my bigger belt for the water bottles (2 zipper pockets) and it was a bit uncomfortable because of where the bottles sit on my sides (not enough room to swing my arms).
Execution: Like my Cincinnati run, this was good 'till like mile 7, and then I got tired and my heart rate got high. Unlike Cincinnati, this is also when the hills really started for me, and I walked less than when I was in Cincinnati so that's a win.
Nutrition: I had half a salted avocado before I left, and a few sips of water along the way. At the end of the run (before weights/abs) I had a Larabar.
Bonus: This was my first time in a long while running to the gym and then busing home. I picked an awesome day. I missed the Foreign Legion Parade by a few minutes, and the bus was detoured for Open Streets, though that wound up not adding any time to the trip. Remember for next time: I should make sure I have my own coffee thermos. Paper cups are now inadequate to my needs.
