Comments:

Good 5K course. Seemed different from last years course. Great weather. Like that the race was an hour later this year. Allowed for time to settle in to the hotel. Made re-hydrating tougher though.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Felt like I ran at a comfortable effort level. Wish I would have ran the week prior to the race though. Felt a bit flat.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk back to hotel.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing

Event comments:

Christy Clinic Marathon continues to get better and better every year. Love running the 5k Friday night followed by Half Marathon on Saturday morning. Makes for a challenging weekend.
