Comments:

Great run for me - PR by around 3 minutes (from race 3-4 weeks ago). Started out weaving around people (probably should have started a little farther up) until Wisteria, where it spread out a bit. Hit the first mile right on my target for the day. Paced off my effort level from the first mile and that seemed to work out great! I paced off an old guy in front of me for probably 3-4 miles - he had an awesome pace (I want to be fast like that when I'm old!!) - since Kirk decided to actually run his own race after the first 2 miles. I just kept picking people in front of me and trying to catch them, worked pretty well. The last 1.2 was especially tough, but I just kept reminding myself how great I would feel after I finished.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around - grabbed a purple gatorade (better than I expected) and watched Courtney finish (and PR!). Kirk actually missed me finish, because he didn't expect me to finish this quickly. :)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm very happy with this race, not sure I had any limitations other than speed and experience. :)

Event comments:

This is a great race - this is my 3rd or 4th year participating. The course is excellent, perfect place for a PR. Weather always pulls through - running in the snow is cool, running in the rain would have been miserable. Chili at Kroger when picking up your shirt after the race was wonderful! Dana does a great job with all her races - highly recommended!!
