Comments:

Went out quick at 6:01. Shortly after getting on the trails I was slipping and decided to back off. Signed up for this race because it's local and convenient. Didn't want to jeopardize rolling an ankle and screwing up my work put in for my marathon in 2 weeks. The winner passed me shortly after the 2 mile mark. Had I not worried about my footing I would have attempted to run with him. He beat me by 18 seconds and I think I could have easily ran 18 seconds faster. Last mile was clocked at 6:10.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Considering I felt like I intentionally backed off my pace for 4 miles on the trails and still PR'd my 10k by a minute this race was a success.
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed a water and walked back to my car. Drove home and spent some quality time with my bike on the trainer.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The conditions of the trail as well as my goal marathon in a couple weeks

Performance: Good
Course: First mile on asphalt. After the first mile we went on what's usually hardpacked trail. It had rained and was lightly raining during the run so it was a tad muddy. Stay on trails until the last 1.25 miles. Run the last 1.25 on asphalt.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
