Comments:

I felt good the 1st mile. The previous year I faded a little on mile 2. I did better this year, but still felt like I should have been faster. First half of mile 3 was a little rough. It just seemed to take longer than expected to blaze through that last mile. I should have turned on the speed a little sooner at the end and trusted my legs.
What would you do differently?:

Begin final acceleration sooner.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked and stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not much. It is mental at this point.

Event comments:

This is a great event. The best part is watching the elite runners at the end. Vey cool.
