Comments:

Did a fast walk on most of the course. doign this kept my heart rate between 125-135 bpm. I hope to get into better condition so that I will be able to keep the heart rate down and still be able to run more time.
What would you do differently?:

Well one thing I would do diferently is not have a session with a personal trainer the day before the event so that I don't where myself out. I was still sore from the workout yesterday when I did todays race.

Warm down:

Walked around the the finsh area and get some refeshments before heading back out to the car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not being in enough condition before the race, also being sore from yesterdays workout with a personal trainer.

this being my first race, and not staying for any of the after race events to be able to judge the event for an over all rating.
