Not run injured!
Give myself more time to warm-up and stretch.
Post race
Warm down:

It was very rushed to get to the start time. 30,000+ participants makes for slow progress in the start area. All our time was spent trying to drop off our race bags, we didn't even have time to pee - first time I've squatted in the bushes at a race start!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nagging torn hamstring injury.

Event comments:

The only thing I would have changed about Chicago was the weather, and my injury. It would be nice if the course was run backwards since you spend the last few miles in a not so nice part of town, but overall, the course was beautiful. Just wish there had been more sunshine!
