Peachtree Road Race 2014 recap: last race in U.S. before moving to Israel

Peachtree: PR, basic stats

Happy to report a PR at Peachtree: 39:29 is the official net time (455/57K+, 34th in AG).

Perfect conditions (65 and not too humid). nice 1+mile warmup, got to corral 15 minutes before start, 1 gu (chocolate+caffeine) 10 minutes before start.

Crowded start, opened up about 1 mile in, but stayed crowded for another mile. People started falling off after that. Held back but still ended up running first 3 miles at around 6:00-6:10 pace. Slowed down on cardiac hills to 6:45-7:00pace, then managed to recover and finish at 6:20-ish pace for the last 1.5 miles.

Happy overall with my performance and training.  I feel know that on a flatter course, 38:xx or even 37xx are reachable.
