Comments:

Not the greatest of races, had slight headache, a bit warm, felt a bit sluggish. Went out OK, but the hills really killed me. Not as good of a hill runner as I used to be. Can do better on this course. Probably went out a little too fast again. Need to relax more in for the 1st mile.
What would you do differently?:

Not feel sluggish day of race? Didn't want to take any tylanol or other. Maybe warmup less.
Post race
Warm down:

No real warmdown, drank water, walked to car. Short on time.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not feeling 100% day of race.

Event comments:

Hills are tough at VC. Legs feeling it on Monday. Even though was 4th in AG, was over a minute behind 3rd. Enjoy running at VC.
