If Ifs and Ands Were Pots and Pans....

There's no point in going into the "would've" and "could've"s from today's HMSA 25K race. My official time was 2:53:33 and I had 1:41:25 on my watch. I worked 12 hours Saturday night/Sunday morning and started the race 72 minutes late.
It's not a great time, but I'm pleased I was able to hold a fairly even pace. I was tempted to quit each time the course came back to downtown, not because I wasn't enjoying the race but because I felt foolish pushing the pace so late in the race. The first 5 miles were 32:29, the next 5 were in 32:23, and the final 5 were 33:04.
