Comments:

felt real good on the run was able to keep a fairly good pace for me without the heart rate exploding. ran the first 2.4 miles straight and then only took six short walk breaks after.
What would you do differently?:

go slower on the hills. Drink a little more and maybe take a gu at the 4 mile mark.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around for about 5 minutes drank water had half a banana and orange

What limited your ability to perform faster:

still need to build my aerobic endurance and lose some more weight.

Event comments:

will definately do this race again next year as the 1/2 marathon
