Comments:

Jill and I started together and I felt OK for first 5 or 6. My energy level started to fade adn some where around 7ish she pulled ahead. I plugged along and around mile 11 I got a little second wind and picked up the pace. I really wanted to run a 2:05 but missed it by a minute and a half.

My left ankle was stiff all during the run and not sure why. It was real stiff and kinda sore post race. But I still went and did another 5 miles that afternoon.
What would you do differently?:

Train harder. I really need to do speed work and do my long mid-week runs.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk around

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Being slow.
