Comments:

Didn't push it hard enough this time - I had some fuel left at the end. Felt good, though - lots of energy! I ran with another girl from my group for the race.
What would you do differently?:

Pace myself a bit faster. I really need to get a garmin :)
Post race
Warm down:

Walking

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I think a gps watch will definitely help!

Event comments:

Really nice race - course was nice, well-organized, plenty of water and aid stations. I was surprised at the quickness of the start - at Columbus, I waited 20 minutes just to get to the start line, but I think this one was 3-5 minutes. Less people, though :)
The end was a bit messy - I had to dead stop after crossing the finish line, which isn't ideal. There was a backlog of people looking to get pictures and pick up their medals (understandable, as you couldn't go back in later). The volunteers tried to get people moving, but I think it was a space/setup issue.
After party was nice - loved the Snowville chocolate milk, please keep that! And the champagne is nice too. Wasn't a big fan of the cover band, but that could be personal preference.
Nice race - I will do it again!
