Comments:

The first few miles my hands were freezing! I changed from tights to shorts right before, which was a good idea. Towards the end I would have regretted the pants. I'm content with this race since it's the first of the year, however I would have been happier with 1:42-1:43 or a new PR! DAmn! o well. Can't win em all
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

At mile 10 I got a cramp under right rib cage and couldn't run through it! Had a left lower quadrant side stitch that slowed me down for few miles as well. grrrr! I think it was about a minute or 2 off my time

Event comments:

they had a one man band at the end and beer for sale! it was freezing though and it was tough to find the party
