Comments:

This was a good, hard race for me. Mile 3 was hard (see above) -- uphill and around a banked field. It was hard to keep speed. I was following a girl for the first 4ish miles that looked about my age -- I finally passed her and kept that lead :) The last mile and a half of the 10K is with the 5Kers, so I had to dodge a lot of people who were walking 3-4 abreast. Kind of annoying.
What would you do differently?:

Not much!
Post race
Warm down:

Got water
Drove home with a sleepy toddler

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wasn't tapered.
The speedwork I've added seems to be doing me a world of good -- excited to see how my next few races will go !

Event comments:

Love this race and love that we're making it a family tradition! James and H took second in the stroller division for the 5K -- and won a free oil change!
