Comments:

Started at a good pace. I think I could have done a better job in the middle mile and could have pushed harder at the end of the race.
What would you do differently?:

Push harder at the end.
Post race
Warm down:

Drank beer and ate pretzels

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Did a hard track workout on Thursday with 100m and 200m all out. I didn't recover from that. Next time don't do that before a race. I think I could have gone faster with the fitness level that I have now. I still beat my PR by 20 seconds but I think I can go sub 18 minutes.

Event comments:

Race was nice but the triathlon was going on at the same time and people were coming out of transition while our race started. I don't think that was very smart to have two races together at the same time. Also we had to run on the sidewalk. It was okay for me because I was in the front. I don't know what happened in the back. They had good entertainment at the end so that was fun. Also, very excited about a new PR.

Course: One hill in the beginning, then you have to go under a overpass that is really low so you have to duck for 30 meters and then a very sharp turn where I walked. Some parts were trails with rocks and it was windy.
