Comments:

They messed up the markers - the poor 10k people ended up barely doing 7. My 310 showed 4.2 at the finish so I kept going for another 400, turned around for 400 back and hit 5k at 19:40

What would you do differently?:

Harder, in non-smoke weather
Post race
Event comments:

Live band, BBQ, lots of sponsors and stuff - kinda surprising.

Won a pass to local dinner theater for winning 5k.
