walk and stretch, drink lots of water

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I was still not in race shape, and long day in the sun on saturday didn't help.

Event comments:

This was just a training race for me as I start to get back in shape, but I was still very disappointed with my time. I need to get back in shape, as this should have been an easy race to get a PR.
