Comments:

I went out a lot faster than I wanted, 9:00 pace. I warmed up real quick and dropped two shirts and a windbreaker by mile two. After doing the first 6 in 57:00 I then slowed down and helped a friend across the finish line without losing much. I think I could have done a few minutes earlier, but very hbappy none-the-less.
What would you do differently?:

Probably over hydrated but after an incident a few weeks back, I'd rather over hydrate than under-hydrate. Not much else I'd do differently, looking to peak later in the year so a great start to the season!
Post race
Warm down:

Scarfed down a granola bar, water, water and those cinnamon goldfish cookies!

Event comments:

Well run by CGI. It was a big city event in a small town.
