Comments:

Decent race, first of the season after a really tough winter. Super hilly, possibly hardest course I have done? Satisfied with race. Was pretty cold.
What would you do differently?:

Hard to determine pace. Thought the first few miles were a little conservative, but who knows. Ran strong the last 2-3 miles, except for that final sloth up the last hill. Could have drunk more water perhaps.
Post race
Warm down:

None. Light stretching.

Event comments:

A great race in a historic location. Race started late, and was probably short.
