Comments:

Started out pretty fast. Finished the first mile in 7:20. I really have to learn how to judge pace better, because I ended up finishing the second mile at like 15:30, so I realized I had to pick up my pace more at the 2-mile mark.

I was surprised to see I came in 2nd in my AG (7/111 female finishers). I think they messed up and gave me the third place AG prize instead of the 2nd place (at least that was what was written on the envelope), but it was a really nice prize -- a $25 gift certificate to a sweets store in town. Yum, I picked up some boxes of home made truffles for gifts.
What would you do differently?:

I would have kept the pace better in the second mile. I need to improve my ability to judge how fast I'm going. Maybe wear the Navman during races too?

Also, I'd bring my inhaler on cold days like this. I was coughing quite a bit.

Event comments:

Very nice race. Well-run, organized, and friendly. The entry was inexpensive and they were pretty generous with the prizes.
