Comments:

Felt really good today. This was a training run for me for the Half marathon two weeks later. I ended up running faster and more easily during this, my training run, than the race.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Everything went well, even the though the plan, holding 8 minute mile pace, went out the window the first mile.
Post race
Warm down:

Finished early enough to get stretched by one of the physical therapist volunteers. Felt great and helped with not being sore afterwards.

Event comments:

Great race, great course. Could use a few more aid stations, but still a good race overall.
