What would you do differently?:

Post race
Warm down:

walked, drank water, ate some delicious soup from Stella Vita...

What limited your ability to perform faster:

pacing and not racing...I honestly felt very good and the ascents felt flat to me today...last week I did a high mileage week and rested this week (with one good speed workout 2 days prior)...

Event comments:

billed as a 10K but was 1/3 mile short...not enough pre race porta potties (in fact there were none)
