Comments:

VERY LARGE race. 935 people altogether. I tried to get right up front, but there were so many people that I just couldn't. I counted 10 seconds before I reached the starting mat.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Great run.
Post race
Warm down:

Drank too much water at the finish. Wound up rejecting it. But once that was over I had a couple cookies, some Vitamin Water, and I walked around a bit. Tummy felt fine after that, so Terri, Jess, and I went to the Brunchery and had eggs and hash browns. YUM!! Then to Pane Rustica for cookies and milk. Hehe...yup, cookies and milk...I'm 9 years old. LOL

What limited your ability to perform faster:

People in front of me.

Event comments:

This is one not to miss every year. So many sponsors, so much free food, you could take some home and eat for the rest of the day afterwards.
