Comments:

cold, near asthma attack at the beginning but I made my best ever sprint at the end
What would you do differently?:

rookie mistake, tried to run too fast in the beginning, way too cold to do that, lungs didn't care for it, I wanted a better time so I pushed it early instead of later when I know that I have a second wind. Also I over dressed. The ear warmers were annoying with my sun glasses, gloves made me hot, three thin shirts were ok til I got hot. But my face and lungs DID not do well in the cold.
Post race
Warm down:

none

What limited your ability to perform faster:

the cold, see above

Event comments:

No water at the end, or anything else. Just a "thanks, bye"
The volunteers were few but friendly.
Nothing at the beginning either, carbs, bananas, water.
The D1 facility was VERY nice and perfect place to host.
The shirt was a great design. Clean and plentiful port-o-lets.
