Run
Comments: It was great. The first mile I was boxed in pretty good by a ton of runners who were clearly in the wrong time section. So I went out in 8:50. But despite the terrible first mile I clawed back and beat my time from last year. I felt good and strong the whole race. What would you do differently?: I would line up on the edge instead of allowing myself to get trapped in the middle of the road. There was nowhere to run at first. Also next year I plan on being better trained! My work schedule really limited the number of miles I was able to put in this year. But I was able to get a lot out of a little. Post race
Warm down: I went over and grabbed a free popsicle and then sat under a railroad bridge on Brady st and watched the runners for awhile. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of training for sure, and also my first mile was too slow. Also, I stopped about halfway up Brady street hill to pick up my friend's license that he dropped. That was a battle with all the runners buzzing by me and bumping into me. It probably pushed my time back maybe 30 seconds. But its cool because I saved my pal some trouble. Event comments: Definitely doing this race next year! Will shoot for sub 45 minutes.

Got there a little late so my normal parking spot was gone. Took awhile to park and use the port a potty and get in my section. I did run about 100 yards and stretched lightly.
