Comments:

First 10 miles were at pace- 9:15 miles. Then some dehydration set in and my foot started hurting me. Slowed it down and focused on getting some hydration before it really warmed up. Foot started really hurting (old, old, injury seemed to have returned) and was in the most pain I have every experienced. Frustrated since it happened now but hey, I finished and for my first one...I'll take it!!
What would you do differently?:

Hydrate better they days before.
Figure out this foot thing!
Post race
Warm down:

stretched, iced

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Event comments:

Great time, great venue, just a bad race for me. Can't wait for my second shot!!
