Comments:

For my first 10K I was very happy. I didn't think I would be able to do the run in under and hour and successfully did that. The temps were in the 30's-40's. I actually dressed a little warm.
What would you do differently?:

A longer warm-up and some stretching. Also for future races mroe speed work!
Post race
Warm down:

Walking cool down. (Need to do more stretching!)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I trained well would like to start building in more speed work..I am really slow! Also my legs were really tired I am not sure if this is due to running the first mile quick or if it was fatigue. I want to play around with hydration and sleep to see how this affects workouts. I know I don't drink enough water.

Event comments:

This race averages about 800 participants. The course is fairly scenic being right on the lake. Registration was very well organized and moved quickly. It was a great race!

Well done CJ.

I laughed when I saw you warm up routine.

I too am going to include some speed work into my training program in the hope of improving my overall speed.

Good luck with your next outing.
