Comments:

Terrific run. Wasn't sure if I was going to bust it hard or just use this as a training day. Once I got through the first mile and saw a decent time with good HR, I went for it. Ran the race as well as I could have ever hoped for.
What would you do differently?:

For my first time on the course, not a single thing.
Post race
Warm down:

Walking, stretching, and free beer.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Terrific run - can get better with more training and experience.

Event comments:

Tough course that can sneak up on you if you don't know the terrain. Tough to place yourself far enough forward if you are hoping to run the first mile.
