Comments:

By run time, it was pretty hot. I did fine though I thought it was a little faster. Weird pace calculation -- if it was 5k then 26.55 = 8:40--the mtec results says that 9:17 pace??

IF MY PACE WAS 8:40 THEN THIS WAS A GREAT RUN FOR ME.
Anyway, I had nothing left at the end, so it was good.
What would you do differently?:

I DRANK PLENTY TODAY AND IN THE DAYS BEFORE= NO CRAMPS!
Post race
Warm down:

NOTHING and that was a mistake--cramping and discomfort later

Event comments:

Trouble with timing made it go on a bit long, but in the end it was a fun race because so many friends there. I like the course, lots of chances to see other races on the out and backs and it's local for me so lots of friends to do it with.
