Comments:

these run always beats you down.. especially if you get a humid and/or hot day. this year it was humid but cool. that was bad enough. hills beat me up of course. and not training basically for this run didn't help! I was 18 min slower than last year with all the training. go figure. now the next 8 weeks are all traing or bust..
What would you do differently?:

some training would be nice!
Post race
Warm down:

hang at the beach, and then a pretty good walk to the car. hopped on the ferry, had a yoo-hoo and took a snooze..

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of training

Event comments:

always a very well organized half. great course for the eyes.. and if you happen to like moderate hills that keep coming at you! weather always seems to be hot, humid, or both!
