Comments:

I felt good in this run, BUT...I did start running with a friend...and she has a heart issue so there was a lot more walking then I had planned. I am a bit of a softie, so I didn't run off and leave her behind...well I kinda did--at the last mile...I didn't even realize it at first! Oh well. This is why I prefer to run and race alone--I always will match the friend with the slower pace...leading to me going slower than I could.
What would you do differently?:

Run on my own. Train more, the usual.
Post race
Warm down:

hopped around again (it had gotten colder!) hooked up some hot chocolate, and cheered on some friends who were doing the duathlon at that venue. After all of that fun, we all headed to a local sushi joint--my first sushi experience! See my pics below--I had the bento box, but m friends got the colorful bridge o' sushi, it was so pretty, I wanted to share the picture here.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My relaxing my pace.

Event comments:

I ran this race last year--and did it faster then. I will do better next year. I do enjoy this race, it is scenic and challenging.
