Nice report...well done. Your race mindset/pacing strategy during the race sounds strangely similar to mine, except you held it together after hitting the wall much better. Cool that you got to run with Lance too. Thanks for posting.

PR by 30mins? That's fantastic! Nice RR, well done.

Ah, race day magic :)

Nice race! After what you learned on a tough NYC course, you'll break 3:30 for sure next time.

Hard days hard, easy days easy.

Nice race on a tough course with a real strong wind. It isn't the easiest course to PR and you did.

Great Race report! I like reading about the way people push through their tough spots b/c inevitably, we all go through them. Thanks for sharing and congratulations. Good luck in Dallas :)
