Comments:

I'm happy with my overall performance. My goal was to finish under 23:00. I would like to have finished a little stronger in the last quarter mile but I find it hard to really push when I am only racing for time.
What would you do differently?:

Start closer to the front - I looked up last years finishing times and tried to start far enough back that I would not be slowing others down. There was a lot of traffic in the first mile or so.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked aroung with my son - got a drink muffin and ice cream that he was more than happy to share

Event comments:

This was a good event. There was more than enough event staff and post race goodies and the 9:00am start and proximaty to my house makes it an easy event to get to.
