B&A Half March 2025

 60 degrees - overcast Singlet Vaporfly 1 Path Shorts 5 gels, used only 4 1 flask No fueling issues.   No issues with water.  Had over 1/4 left. Thought was on pace per the watch.  In the end, was 6 secs off based on the watch (7:21 vs. 7:27). Felt good throughout the race.  Manageable, not like the marathon in the fall. Hill was difficult, but manageable. Miles after the hill was significantly better than the prior run on this course.   Think I could have paced at the actual target of 7:21. Reset watch from 1.041 to 1.0 calibration.
