Comments:

Good race for me. I'm just starting back into running after IM-Lou, so I'm happy with this effort. Slow first mile, but picked up from there. Negative split. Felt this was an RPE 8 for me.
What would you do differently?:

Start a little closer to the front. That first mile with all the turns is really impacted by the slower people up front
Post race
Warm down:

None

What limited your ability to perform faster:

No speed work.

Event comments:

Good race to start off the fall/winter season. Easy course, and fairly small draw. Nice shirts. I saw that the number of people in this race almost doubled over last year. Wonder why?
