Comments:

Not one of my better runs, my mental block came at mile 3 and I had a hard time recovering after that. It was tough, first 1/2 marathon, but I accomplished my goal of finishing. :)
What would you do differently?:

Work on my mental facilities.
Post race
Warm down:

Ouch....nothing.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mental facilities. Nutrition and hydration were good.

Event comments:

Good race, a lot of support along the course, plenty of hydration stations, would do it again.
