Comments:

The weather was perfect! It was a sunny day, but there was a breeze that made it feel comfortable. I did get a bit of a sunburn on my shoulders, though. I had a good race. My legs felt a bit heavy after mile 10, but I was able to pick it up again and feel better at mile 12.
What would you do differently?:

I needed to stretch more after the run. I was SORE in my quads for over 3 days.

Event comments:

The course is beautiful, and very scenic. The only bad thing this year, is that there were cars on the road. We got stuck with a truck and a line of cars. Also, there were some people who were darting in and out of traffic and the runners. It felt unsafe. Other than that, it was a fun, beautiful race! The burgers are also a wonderful incentive to keep me going to end, too! And its always fun to get a medal and tshirt at the finish line.
