Comments:

Hot. I missed the first 2 drink stations. By the time I hit mile 3 I felt realy dehydrated. It was a really hot morning(close 90 by the end of the run). All in all it is a PR but I was hoping to break the 8 min mile pace. I think I set my expectations too high, Ive only been at this for a little over a year. Oh well next time.
What would you do differently?:

Hydrate sooner, not miss the water stations.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around drank gatorade, ate a few oranges.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I could say heat but it always comes down to training.

Event comments:

Great local race running it's 31st year with over 2000 participants. Quite the site.
