Comments:

Placed myself near the back of the crowd at the starting line and stayed with the same group of ladies pretty much the whole time. Paced myself well. Took a gel just after the 4-mile water station.
What would you do differently?:

The only thing I'd do differently is try to wear something with pockets. Didn't have a good place to put my car key and gel
Post race
Warm down:

Went straight to the car and cranked the windows open.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training.

Event comments:

The Freezeroos are geared towards serious local runners. I was worried about using this one as my first 10K, given that it's longer than a true 10K distance and has lots of hills, but it worked out fine. The weather cooperated, so there was no ice on the roads to worry about.
