You can't have immediate DOMS
That's a cramp, or just fatigue.
The fact your legs gave out tell me your heart/cardio system wasn't the issue. More likely your legs weren't strong enough for the abuse, or your sodium/fluid were messed up.

completely off the rails at this point:
long pace runs [6,7,8 miles] are but a memory replaced by pace-runs on the treadmill and brisk 5k's in the 90*F weather.
Skipped last weeks long run too. Ended last week at like 11-12 miles lol. [was on a 25-per pace prior 4 weeks], at 6.x so far this week. Got an Oly tri on sunday so long run is out this week too, out of town next week so possibly back to the treadmill then too
#skidding_into_it
with the race on the 27th I see only [2] actual quality workouts left
on the 15th, on a bus trip I'll see if I can run 8.0 at goal pace somewhere, and on the 19th I'll get my final long run in [13-14] at 10:30 pace or something relaxing. sigh

Even without hitting 1:50 you still came in sub-2 and got a PR, win! Good job man! Maybe you just didn't eat enough pasta the night before.

Running 15 miles a week for sub 2 hours is no joke. Hit a solid 25 miles per week/100 per month and you'll sub 1:45 all day.

I think OP's coach is most the problem...
Seriously though, great job OP.
More weekly milage(we covered this)
Run pace runs, regularly. Once a week, get used to the suffer. (we covered this)
Quit surfing the day before a race, numbnuts. I guarantee you that cost you 5 minutes. (we covered taking it easy this week too!)

read that article, thanks!
so a few things to improve, also I want to start having a rest week here and there. Guess I shouldnt complain about being burnt out but I didnt really take any weeks off and I felt like I was perpetually sore every.single.monday for the entire year since my long-slow-run was always sunday. then I'd roll into a day for junk miles I think because of that...

To clarify?
No junk miles, but you still have a long slow run. It's deliberately long and slow. It's not junk though.

update: 4 days out [apr 3]
RnR SF half attempt 2, last year 2:00:39. Earlier in this thread I see I was thinking of pegging 1:55:00 as my goal for the next SF RnR. Nah... :p, that's now plan 'B'
hopefully lessons learned/fitness improved and although my goal isn't sub 1:50:00 on this hilly course, it's pretty close. Shooting for 1:52:00
I've averaged only 21mpw this year which included [2] burnout weeks, a vacation or 2, and only a few times hitting 30mpw so this is probably a more realistic assesment of where I'm at. Compared to last year at this point though I was only at 16 mpw though, so I'm up a little bit anyways.
Hopefully some of the advice here I can put into action [run by feel], I think some of my pace runs [running at goal half pace for 8-ish miles] have taught me what running at/slightly above goal pace feels like. I also learned a good lesson on bonking when I blew up on one of these earlier.
Other than that I will pay attention to my HR--at least in the early goings, and I'm looking to avoid entering zone 5 before about mile 8 ideally. Whenever I've gotten in trouble in a race at this distance it seems I've entered zone 5 at/around mile 4 or even earlier.
So to placate my tender vagina my plan involves hitting the first 4-5 miles at roughly ~8:40 pace /effort wise [so on course even slower due to the biggest hill sitting at mile 1]. From there if its a good day to bring it down casually and try to finish strong over the final 5 which is something that historically I manage to fail at owing pacing problems or just having a bad day or who knows. My PR at this distance is just from an ordinary training run [1:53:nn] on a trail near me 3 months ago so I figure my goal pace is do-able I just have to be smart about the pacing and not a slave to my watch. Also got to buffer in nearly :60s for that final hill at mile 11 [another 200' er] and to pay attention to the delta at the mile 10 clock on course with what my watch is telling me my ET is --to account for non-shortest path on course overages and any GPS oddities--the big buildings do tend to screw things up.
So I've got this GAP-based mile split chart that I used to ballpark what proper pacing would look like for me based on altitude adjustment but I've thrown it out. The only one I'm remembering is I want to hit mile 1 at 9:40 [try not to laugh lol, it has a 200' hill on it, so thats about right for my goal if not a little fast still]. Other than that just want to make a mental note of where the hills are and to try and run it by feel while trying to take care to stay out of zone 5 HR until at least mile 7. Preferably 8 or even 9 though.
