Comments:

Overall I was happy with this race. I was wanting to see where I was compared to last year this time as lately I've been frustrated by my running pace and lack of improvemenr. I did do better than last year and felt strong but the HR was still a little high.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Walk to subway and ride home

What limited your ability to perform faster:

HR going too high

Event comments:

First time ever in a NYRR race they ran out of stuff, water, gels, but they did handout salt and my body responded very well to that
