Comments:

Pretty slow run but I was pretty wasted...once again that sciatic problem I had slowed me down and it was real hot by now...was dehydrated also. I decided to just go at a pace I knew I could sustain without walking.
What would you do differently?:

Drink more.
Post race
Warm down:

Walking/drinking

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Sciatic problems 3 weeks prior to race.

Event comments:

No water station on the runs, ran out of water at the finish, 1 person announcing the winners but no one to hand out the ribbons...who wants to eat pizza after a race??? I would much prefer lots of fruit.
It's the first time I placed in a race since I started racing this year so I'm pretty stoked about that!
