Comments:

Ehh. I came out ok and had some decent splits, but then the hills hit and my pace fell.

6:42/6:33/6:57/7:54/7:51/7:23/7:05 (stub)

I wanted sub 43 but it wasn't in the cards. The start is really slow and this year was mre disorganized than others
What would you do differently?:

Push my way up to the front of the wave for the race. There were a number of people not in their wave and they went slow.
Post race
Warm down:

stretch, walk (to the MARTA)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

not much

Event comments:

I don't care for the new ending. In addition to changing from a downhill to an uphill roller (stinker), they seemed to funnel you down through the streets to MARTA. In all fairness, I didn't go over to the Civic Center where they may have had more activities etc. I just followed the people in front of me and ended up at Marta. I was home before a number of the racers were half way done.
