Comments:

I could have been better @ pacing. I started out at a sub 8 minute pace, which I should have know that I couldn't maintain. Lesson learned for the Blues in Jan.
What would you do differently?:

Better pacing and hydration
Post race
Warm down:

Jogged a bit and had a muscle milk.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Preparation....I need to pace better and think more strategically rather than just showing up and running.

Event comments:

I will be back next year, and I will be sub 1:45.
