Comments:

Good run, took off nice and easy and then constant pace for the first 12K. Then picked up the pace on the last 3k, felt pretty good.
What would you do differently?:

Push a little more during the complete run.
Post race
Warm down:

Wandered the venue some more and then changed and left for home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing really, just thinking about 12K run in the morning and not wanting to blow the legs for it too.

Event comments:

Good race, nice to see some of my group finish their first race and others get a PB, including myself getting a PB a this distance.
