Comments:

Still some pain from 2 weeks ago. I rested it as much as I could, probably should have jogged or walked a little. Felt pretty good at 6 mile point then turned into the wind crossing back into down town and the cold wind cut through my bare legs, I felt the muscles cool and tighten.
What would you do differently?:

No get injured 2 weeks prior to the race
Post race
Warm down:

stretches, put on pants ..1.5 hour drive home legs got very tight, almost couldn't walk

What limited your ability to perform faster:

injury

Event comments:

The start area was staged based on estimated pace/mile and un-timed runners/walkers strollers/dogs etc. I lined up with the 9minute plus then had to struggle passing walkers, dogs and strollers. This should have been better enforced.
