Comments:

went out a bit fast. felt a little sluggish on the back half but kept up an okay pace. tried to kick at the end. finish time shows I ran better than I felt. did a good job running the tangents instead of swinging wide this time.
What would you do differently?:

Even at 8 am it was hot outside. Need to wear t-shirt & cap that breathe.. or try some other cooling strategy.

This is such a great race! Cute t-shirt, awesome gift cert from Elkridge Furnace Inn, and great race atmosphere. Definitely one to do every year.
