Comments:

This was my first race above 5K. I had never seen the course before. Felt good at first, water stations every half mile up until mile 2.5. After that nothing until mile 5. Weather got real hot real fast. Wish they had been spread out more. Hills at the end were rough. Able to pass a lot of people.
What would you do differently?:

Trained for a longer race, not decide to do it the day before raceday.
Post race
Warm down:

Gave out Poland Springs water bottles at the end which were much needed. Walked a bit, stretched in the grass.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of water on the course and the extra 20 pounds I am carrying.

Event comments:

Not as many people turned up to race as expected, only 130. Need more water midway through. Other than that it was a nice day, and nice race.
