Comments:

This was my first 1/2 marathon. I ran as I had planned, not to hard since my first triathlon is in two weeks. Was an excellent race, lots of bands on the course to keep you entertained. Running around the speedway was inspiring. I could have run harder but stayed with my plan.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Next year I will try and better my time.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked the finish line ate a bananna, cookie, drank water and gatorade. Was going to get a massage but the wait was about an hour. Did some light stretching after the 5 block walk to the car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My first triathlon in two weeks.

Event comments:

Overall a great race and a good course to run. Will definately run this race next year.
