Comments:

I am very pleased with this race. This was my first year participating in this race and the hills did scare me a bit, wasn't sure what to expect. I walked durning the water stations and at the top of a couple of the major hills, but only for a minute or so to get my legs back and catch my breath. Overall I felt good durning the race.
What would you do differently?:

Train a lot more on hills!!!
Post race
Warm down:

Took a walk around the finish area, got a some water and gatoraide and watched the other finishers as I waited for my sister to finish.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Hadn't trained on for this kind of up and down hills.

Event comments:
