Comments:

This was an awesome run for me. I was worried about my knee being a problem and it didn't bother me at all during the race. I didn't drink any water at all and only ate gus.
What would you do differently?:

I don't think I can physically drink water when I'm running at a faster pace. I should def work on that. Also, maybe not drink as much beer afterwards as I did.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched for 10 minutes, watched out for my fellow BTers, then met up with my Marist buddies.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

nothing but inexperience

Event comments:

Awesome race. I can't wait to do this race next year.
