What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm a slow runner. What can I say??

Performance: Good
Course: Off road through an abandoned park. Hillier than I imagined, based on the course profile they provided. It was a bit spooky, as the venue was an abandoned military housing complex. Broken streets, crumbly sidewalks. Weird.
