Comments:

Good run. Broke my goal time. Felt comfortable throughout the race, I think I held a good pace/effort throughout.
What would you do differently?:

Practice a little bit more on downhill running. I find it a bit difficult to just let myself go down te hill without bracing which slows me down.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Descending skills. Fine uphill and was strong at the end

Event comments:

Bit chaotic at the finish line because the finish shoot was a bit narrow and the space for post race food and chilling was a bit small.
