Comments:

I had two goals in this race, it being my first. One, finish, and two, don't walk the run. I walked up 3 of the hills, but only for a short distance, and still had a good pace for me!

Post race
Warm down:

Got my finishers medal, hugged my kids, and cried like a baby.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

being too fat!
