Comments:

Felt strong the whole way. Very even paced race for me, which was the goal. Finished 10 minutes slower than Indy mini in the spring, however, Kinda bummed since I focused on the run these past 8 weeks. Really tried not to push myself too much. Wish I'd reviewed the Indy mini before doing this race. Might have felt the incentive to race faster. Conditions were right for a fast run.
What would you do differently?:

Would like to finish mile a bit stronger, but it was tough with the almost constant uphill of mile 11
Post race
Warm down:

Bottle of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale at the office while inputting race data

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Fitness level.

Event comments:

Great first mini. Organized by Tuxedo Brothers who do the mini marathon in Indianapolis in the spring.

Overall great experience. The pre-race 'expo' was pretty lame. Didn't even have to show photo id to pick up packet. Neat location at Mackey Arena, but hopefully some more cool swag and such next year.
