What limited your ability to perform faster:

Respiratory illness???

Event comments:

This race has lots of potential. There were some pretty good athlets that showed up for this first annual event.

I have been fighting some sort of respiratory crud for almost a week. I can't take this race as an indication of my progress and fitness. It was an excellent warm up for my "A" races coming up.
