Comments:

Felt good starting the run. We didn't start running until 10 minutes after the gun went off. First 4 miles were spent running around and laterally rather than just straight forward.
What would you do differently?:

Try and get more toward the front next time.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked from the finish line to the food.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Crowd at the beginning and the fact I am recovering from being sick last week. That being said I am pretty pleased with my time eventhough I was shooting for sub 1:40.

Event comments:

For a first race this went off pretty well, I will be doing it again next year.
