Notes
I am very happy with how I did in the race because the main goal was to break my PR of 1:41:15 from 2004. I was hoping to break 1:40 but that was just a little out of reach. I really messed this run up on my GPS because I tried to remember to hit the lap button but accidently hit the stop so it did not record a lot of the run. The course is flat but there are some rises especially at the bridges. I tried to stay with the 3:20 marathon pacer but he wanted to go up the Ambassador bridge at like a 7:27 which was too fast for me. I really started hurting at 10 miles but I was very happy at how I hung on this race and finished strong. I had planned on taking a gu but I ended up not taking it. I only stopped for water 1 time and that was around mile 10. This was a nice course and the race had a great vibe at the start especially with the spitting snow and the music blasting. I'm glad we made the trip to Detroit especially since we both enjoyed the trip. I think the biggest drawback is the drive because it makes for 2 very long days of driving. My legs are sore but not completely destroyed.
