Comments:

It went pretty well. I'm happy I kept to my pace.
What would you do differently?:

Would have worn a shortsleeved tshirt. Maybe I would have gained 10 seconds!

Warm down:

Added layers (hoodie + jacket + neck gaiter), unfortunately left my gloves with Chris. :(

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I don't think I could have done much better. I hate the shoes though.

Event comments:

Despite the (again) rather poor (but not terrible) weather (foggy and wet), it was fun and I'm happy with my 5 min gain over last year's time!! The race is also very friendly and well organized.
