What would you do differently?:

Not take those four 60 second walk breaks. I was around 9 minutes a mile and thought,"i'm doing pretty good - why don't I stop and take a walk break so I don't get tired and then I can't hold my pace?" Well those 4 minutes is pretty much what held me back. I could have continued. I didn't have to walk. I tried to strategize too much.

Event comments:

I think it may be getting a little too large. This was the 1st year that is seemed to be a little un-organized (Race expo, packet pick-up, finish line refreshment lines, shuttles, etc).

Just mad chaos. Especially with the rain.
