Comments:

Much slower than I wanted. It was hot out, my legs were sore from all the running I've been doing - possibly weights this week? Can't tell. Overall I felt amazing; the best part of the race was KILLING the 5k at the end, 9:42 avg pace for it.
What would you do differently?:

Go faster in the first 2/3? Not hit weights as hard during the week?
Post race
Warm down:

Walking.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heat? Going out slower? Bridges? The severe inner ear congestion from my Eustachian tube dysfunction and vertigo? Not sleeping well the night before? Lots of training this week? I am sure they all contributed.

Massage next week

Event comments:

GREAT race.
