Ran this race on minimal training. So, it was important to stay conservative. I was shooting for a 1:25 . . . about a 6:30 average. I stayed really consistent through the whole race. I actually really like this course. I'm happy with my effort, all things considered. 2 mile cooldown with Jasmine.

Solid race for minimal training. Always so talented!

Also, what shoes do you race in for the marathon distance? Looking at reports to see what people are using for some new options for me.

Tara, I wear Saucony Fast Twitch for racing. Most marathoners who wear Saucony wear the Kinvara. They are a little more cushioned that the Fast Twitch. Everyone I know who wears Kinvaras really likes them. I like a really light shoe though.
