Comments:

This run sucked. I felt terrible, and I was hurting the entire way. I was actually looking for an excuse to quit before mile 3. Couldn't push myself as fast as I liked.
What would you do differently?:

More rest, but that's not going to happen during cross country training.
Post race
Warm down:

Couple kilometers light jogging.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough rest.

Event comments:

After race steak dinner was delicious.
