Comments:

Should have taken a drink at first station at 3 miles. It started getting warm and by the time the second station came at 6 miles I was feeling a little dehydrated. Kept a moderate 8:20 pace for the first 8 miles, faded to 9:00 pace going into the wind across the bridge, then picked it up again for the last 5k.
What would you do differently?:

Probably could have gone harder in the last 5k, but held back a little because it was a new section of the course this year and wasn't sure what was ahead.

Event comments:

Fun race and very scenic course, lots of community support. Great for family if they want to do the 5k or 10k.
