Comments:

PR. We expected to finish @ 1:26, but did 1:20.
Felt really good and loose from the start.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. After the 1st 3 miles averaging a little over 8 mins / mile, I felt really good about a PR
Post race
Warm down:

A little food and gatorade.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I felt great. I would not have expected to go faster.

Event comments:

They can add some port-o-potties at the start. There seemed to be more people in line for these, than at the starting lines. Other, than that, everything was great. I would have liked a medal though.
