Comments:

Kept a short stride which helped with the fast cadence. The time entered here is my own time. The time, above, is the "official" time.
What would you do differently?:

get to the starting line on time. We were delayed by the handoff of Turner to my folks after the 5k.
Post race
Warm down:

cheering on my friends as they finished.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

my lung capacity.

Event comments:

Miles were not well marked. I didn't see my first on until I noticed a large 5 on the street about where the five mile point should be. Hilly course was unexpected. Guess I should have driven it once. Bib No. 2305
