Comments:

The first three miles were good, although it was definitely crowded the whole way. The hills were my nemesis, since this Florida girl doesn't get to train much on hills. But overall it was fun and entertaining, and I even stopped halfway for a photo op at our condo.
What would you do differently?:

Figure out a way to get more hill training in at home here, or get to the condo more often and run those hills on Peachtree.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked the 3+ miles back to the condo, but at least I got to watch the racers on the course. Of course I got some comments -- "you're going the wrong way!" and someone wanted to see the T-shirt. Fun!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Hills, heat, and humidity -- Atlanta standard on the 4th!

Event comments:

This has been a tradition for me for many, many years. I wouldn't miss it!
