Comments:

Went out too fast and paid for it in the last 6-8 miles. Once I hit the top of battery just couldn't hold the pace running into the wind. mark aiken pulled away. 3:15 pace group passed me in the staniford neighborhood. couldn't get back below 8min pace but was able to get under 3:20.
What would you do differently?:

start slower.
Post race
Warm down:

krissie and Rich were waiting at the finish with dry clothes. had chocolate milk and water. walked a little but left pretty quick as it was cold and crowd was huge

What limited your ability to perform faster:

pacing

Event comments:

great volunteers and crowd support in tough conditions.
