Ya, for sure. The 20 extra minutes will definitely be a factor since I've grown used to pacing myself for only 40 minutes. I'm going to make an effort to go out at a slower pace (not that I go fast but not go out so "hard") and stick with the guy I think I can beat who's normally slower than me in the beginning of the race. Hopefully I can avoid blowing up, stay with him more most of the race and then get a gap on him in some of the more technical sections of the course near the end and come in with "teh win."

... "teh win" being one spot off DFL.

Nervous excitement continues ...
