Comments:

had a good run...my age group was pretty stacked...otherwise I would have placed in my AG...I beat many other AG winners...
What would you do differently?:

more tempo work
Post race
Warm down:

walked around, static stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:

my pace did not vary more than 6% between slowest mile and fastest mile (which I think is pretty good)...I need to do more tempo work at about 7:30 pace for 30 to 40 minutes...I feel I did not over extend myself or even extend myself to the furthest I could have since I have triathlon season to think about which tells me I can run this HM even faster!!!

Event comments:

a no frills event but reasonably well attended by quality runners (the winning time was 1:17!!!
