Comments:

Felt good. Made a mistake and started in the front of coral 2 instead of coral 1. Chip timing so no big deal. Start went really well so passing was not a problem. Got into a comfortable pace and kept it. Had some left the last mile so that felt good.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really. Would have left the cap in the truck. Ended up taking it off after about a mile
Post race
Warm down:

Routine light stretching and hydrating.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing

Event comments:

Great race. Well run. Good support along the race. Fun afterwards. Will definetely come back and run again. My wife ran too and we also were entered as a team "Maranna" She had to stop along the way so her time was not as good as she would have liked, but we did manage 20th out of 218 teams.
