Dress Rehearsal

A Houston Marathon PR. Was on pace for 3:10 and an overall PR but my quads locked up around mile 23. I felt strong and the pace felt smooth. I started feeling some tightness about a half mile before and brought down my pace about 5-10 seconds. In hindsight I think I should have throttled down 30 seconds-1 minute and I would have avoided the aid station.

Regardless it was a great event in excellent conditions. Happy to finish my 5th Houston marathon!
