This was a training race, but got sick 3 weeks ago. One run in 3 weeks leading up to race.
What would you do differently?:

More training, not get sick, more stretching!! Calves got tight, then started cramping. Some Achilles pain in both legs.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretching and walking.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not in shape, tightness and cramps in calves and Achilles.

Event comments:

Great race, especially considering I was out of shape and had some leg pain. My goal was sub 10 min miles and I barely made that. Good race overall given these factors.
