Comments:

I hadn't run any hills to prepare for this race. I was still avoiding hills. learned my lesson and was disappointed with my performance. It was nice to run in my hometown.
What would you do differently?:

I would have run more often and included hills in my training plan.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I didn't train properly. I didn't run often enough and didn't train on hills. i didn't realize the benefit of training on hills. Also, I didn't adjust my nutrition.

Event comments:

I'd run it again but I finished with the desire to prove I could perform better. Next day decided to register for marine corps.
