Comments:

not quite as fast as I had hoped for. Got passed by one person in my age group at the 2 mile mark. other than that, kept trying to focus on form and keep moving. legs were tired and didn't have the kick I was wanting, but we can work on that.
What would you do differently?:

try to not let the form/speed lag in the middle
Post race
Warm down:

stretched and rolled the legs. got some food and packed up to get to Tarboro for boys' swim meet

What limited your ability to perform faster:

the usual. still got a lot of training to do to be competitive with this group of athletes. very strong group in Greenville to catch.

Event comments:

great race. weather was as cooperative as you can expect for August. If it had been sunny, it would have been really bad. Great food after the race.
