Comments:

Pretty good run, 5 minutes off last year's time and had a good kick for the last mile, happy with this result considering the amount of hills, competition was better and a lot more runner - improved my time 5 minutes and still dropped overall rank from last year
What would you do differently?:

need to do more hill runs for this race, overall distance no issue, just those long climbs
Post race
Warm down:

found the family, got some food and waited around for awards - first sports award since high school, #2 in AG

Event comments:

This race has really grown and is well run. There was water every mile, a lot of post race food, and they went from 420 last year to almost 600 runners this year. Great local event for first timers - but train for some hills.
