Comments:

Felt a little out of breath the entire time. Quickly fell behind Jennifer after about 1.25 miles. Just kept her in sight as my pace setter. Pipped her at the line. she probably built up a 20-25 second lead after 2.25 miles. It was all I could do to reel her in. She ended up getting 9th overall for Masters Womens division!
What would you do differently?:

Run more in-between races.
Post race
Warm down:
