Comments:

Started a little fast just like always but settled in sort of for the rest of the run. Got dropped at mi 5.5, had to slow down.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, maybe some speed work next year. This year has been pretty much just plodding along with some hills.
Post race
Warm down:

PIZZA, doughnuts and coffee, walked through the t-shirt line, what's not to like?

What limited your ability to perform faster:

not enough speed work

Event comments:

This was a fun day, ran with my sister, she's my favorite training partner too. Beautiful day for a run, cold at the start but sunny. This is always a real pass-fest for me, I get to start with the real runners and I'm really not so it's always like the whole field is running away from me, I guess that's because they are!
