Comments:

Tried to push it today after doing a 1/2 mary last weekend for the 1st time, since I had an idea of racing at this distance now, not just finishing.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Ok, maybe push it a little harder in the 2nd half, maybe.
Post race
Warm down:

Some walking and chatting and stretching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The usual: overweight & haven't been training long.

Event comments:

Fun race, especially for $10. Had low expectations but they had plenty of volunteers and the course was well-marked. Thought I was lost for a while because no one in front or in back, but I wasn't :) Nice to run on soft surface, even tho it makes for slower time.
