Post race
Warm down:

Walked for about 1 mile. Drank water, hammer gel, apple and bag of pretzels immediately. Had Whole wheat english muffin with turkey bacon and egg whites with a small coffee.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mental. Crowding at the beginning.

Event comments:

It is a very crowded start. You burn a lot of energy at the beginning. I wish they would stop taking first timers estimated completion times and instead start then at the back. It really detracts from the start.
