Comments:

I think this is my 4th time running this, but I'm not nearly as fast as I used to be. My goal was to finish in 1:45 so I was pleased with my finish. I used a 4:00/1:00 run/walk interval but ran the whole first mile and walked a little extra on the hill.
What would you do differently?:

Not much - I was very pleased with this effort.
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing other than walking back to the car

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of run specific training.

Event comments:

This is a fun holiday event with great community support. There are lots of people out cheering with signs, kids to high five, music, beer, extra water, candy, etc. I was really glad I decided to run again.
