Comments:

I started this race with the intent of running it easy since it was an evening race and I'd already swam and biked earlier in the day. I kept telling myself to slow down and take it easy and for the most part I did.
What would you do differently?:

Had I known that I was that close to the top I would have run a lot harder and maybe placed higher.
Post race
Warm down:

Not much, walked around and refueled while I waited on my girlfriend to finish.

Event comments:

The corrals were very crowded but I liked that they were checking numbers to validate which corral you were assigned. Unfortunately some people still feel the need to exaggerate their finish times and start in corrals they have no business in. I wasted a lot of energy getting around 2 hour half marathoners.
