Comments:

Definitely had a harder time with this run, but based on my place no more so than others. Managed to keep the pressure on and hold off a guy about 15-20 seconds behind me most of the time.
What would you do differently?:

My fast start probably caught up to me a bit here, but nothing too bad.
Post race
Warm down:

Cheered on others, stretched a bit

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not too worried about this, just felt good to get out and race for the first time this season.

Event comments:

Very fun local race, well organized by ARE. Will likely do this one again in the future.
