Comments:

Needed to practice striping a layer off....had trouble with iPod getting stuck on outer layer. Also, needed to just maybe suck it up and start without that layer, or wear something that I can shed without worrying about carrying it with me. Ended up getting it tied around my waist, but it was a pain!!!
What would you do differently?:

Wear an outer layer to take off and ditch completely!
Post race
Warm down:

Took most of the goodies available at the finish line and kept moving the whole way to family link up(about a mile away). Met up with my sister, was pretty much cooled down by then and very glad to see her holding my fleece ready for me to put on! Ate more bagel and then took some pictures.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

ADHD...seriously, there was a piece of the course where we were running past other runners like almost an out and back, however, even though I only knew one other person running , I had to scan the mass of people....I should have kept my head down and just kept at pace.

Event comments:

It was a great event, I hope to maybe someday actually do the marathon side!
