3:55 finish (PR), 1832/13522 place overall. Second time doing this course, but much different experience. Temperatures were at near record lows for central FL - mid 30s at race start. I was also fighting a cold going into it and had not dressed appropriately. Why pack a hat and gloves for a race in FL? First hour or so was extremely cold and uncomfortable, but as sun came up and temperature moderated, I gradually felt better and got into steady groove that would last for the entire race. Ended up being a PR - about a minute faster than previous best at Long Island in 2007.
