Comments:

I was hoping to beat last years time and go under 1:50. I hit the 5k mark at about 24 minutes and felt that I could maintain that pace the rest of the way. In my mind I was running two 5 mile races and a 5k at the end. Mile 5 I was just under 40 minutes and mile 10 I was 1:19. I flirted with the idea of sub 1:40 but that wasn't happening.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing, I knocked 10 minutes off my time from last year.
Post race
Warm down:

Got a massage, some Gatorade 2(which is nasty) and a bagel and walked the 1/2 mile back to my car.

Event comments:

Once again a good race, I will be back next year.
