Comments:

Ran with no socks. It felt fine. My first lap was good. I realized after the first lap at 27 mins that I had almost almost 35 mins to get 2:45. I still did not try to run very hard. I wanted to finish strong. I did and got 2:40.
Post race
Warm down:

No real warm down. Drank water, waited for Lisa to cheer her on.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I beat my time from last year by 29 minutes. I beat my goal time of 2:45. I was very happy with my performance.
Still need to practice transitions.

Event comments:

Still don't give away medals or trophies. But they do buy beer at a local bar (The Biltmore) after the race.
