Comments:

May have been able to drop another 30 seconds
What would you do differently?:

Pushed a little harder. This was my first 10K race so I did not have my pacing perfect. I should have kicked a bit earlier
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and had some water

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Fitness level and pacing. I need to up my running volume overall. First 10K and feel better about how to pace now.

Event comments:

5K and 10K race convergence was not good at all. Need to have lanes for each race maybe.
