Race went well. 45 degrees and overcast for the run. First two mile split was at 15 min even, so I might have gone out a bit fast. Mile 2-3 had some hills so pace slowed a bit and I had 16 minutes to get the last 2 miles in to make the 40 minute goal. Finished strong and came in at 39:47 total time (7:58 pace). For the first time since the half-ironman I could tell that I am not fully recovered from that effort. Legs felt tired, but I got home under the goal.
Overall place (out of 538) 125th. 91st out of 263 men, and 20th out of 46 in the 35-40 age group. Made the main goal of sub 8 min pace by a few seconds!
