Comments:

I was sick for 2 weeks so I wasn't top shape! I cought all the way to the finish. My lungs were hurting! it still was a PR! I'm happy about that!
What would you do differently?:

Train more
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around a little, had my spaghetti lunch and stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I was sick
I may have been still tired a little from pacing my sexy boyfriend in the Vermont mountains the previous weekend
The course was hillier than what I thought
It was a cold morning

Event comments:

The volunteers were great! cheering us on and singning to us! The course was not as nice as I was anticipating... running past a pigsty and smelling the fumes was not that fun! I'm still happy with my preformance because I did a PR!
