Comments:

I ran a 5-mile race (PR time) the previous day. My legs were feeling it a bit. But, not enough to not race.

While I ran at a comfortable pace, I was surprised and humbled to see I finished last in my age group. Typically, I finish around mid-point of my AG. Need to kick it up a notch.:)
What would you do differently?:

Not run a race the previous day
Post race
Warm down:

Some light stretching, ate a couple cookies with the Muscle Milk they were handing out.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Legs were slightly tired from previous day's race.

Event comments:

Potomac River Running puts on good, fun races. This race was the first of the 2011 Race Series and it didn't disappoint. They're great.
