Comments:

It was more challenging than I remmebered. I had a goal of sub 50 but feel great about how I managed the course and myself.
What would you do differently?:

More intervals on a regular basis. Maybe up the pace on the way out by like 1 or 2 percent.
Post race
Warm down:

I got the camera and took pictures of Pam and some others finishing, drank some coffee had a cookie.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My old age and declining health. LOL

Event comments:

LV Running teams does a good job. I wish that the valley had a better/larger runnig community.
