Stretched a little

Comments:

It was fun and we knocked almost 5 minutes off of last years, but I wish I had pushed it a little bit more in the last two miles. I need to learn when to lay down the hammer! It was still a pretty solid effort though and I should be happy with the time and all :)
What would you do differently?:

Train harder for this particular race
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mental preparation/physical preparation.

If I wasn't training for my tri I would've done a lot more work for Bloomsday. I need to do some speed work ASAP!

Event comments:

We heard reports they ran out of water at the last aid station, but they ended up having plenty by the time we got there.

Super well organized with lots of aid stations and music on the route

The post-race activities were eh. We couldn't find any water/bananas/free food anywhere after and that was pretty lame. I wanted a Gatorade really badly!
