Comments:

I started off strong and finished pretty good! I didn't get sucked into the fast start and kept my pace steady.
What would you do differently?:

Make sure I bring a snack to have before and after the race. It was too long between breaky & race time. The after food was lacking.
Post race
Warm down:

Didn't do enough stretching and then the drive home didn't help. I forgot my ice packs for my knee but it didn't feel that bad. My quads on the other hand.......

What limited your ability to perform faster:

experience!

Event comments:

For the price, is was a good race. It would have been nice to have some more volunteers at some of the aid stations and some better 'after race' food. It was a great race to gage how my training is going.... I think I'm right on track for the BMO 1/2 in 5 weeks!!! WOW.......
