Not very happy with my run. Had some cramps in the beginning of the run after that, my legs were bothering me, had to slow down. Nothing left at the end for a sprint to the finish line.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The weather was a factor, and my legs were sore.

Event comments:

Small event run by one man - not well organized. He needs more volunteers. Race started late and times were slow to be posted. They were also wrong. Had to use my stop watch for my times. Times were later adjusted. Overall race wasn't bad, would do it again next year.
