Comments:

Felt better as the day went on. Paced probably a little slow through the first couple of miles. Second half was much faster than the first half and had enough in me for a 6:50 min last mile.
What would you do differently?:

Bring another gel so I could take the one I brought a little earlier and have a little kick for the end.
Post race
Warm down:

Good walk around with the family and got some clothes on.

Event comments:

The race was well organized and there were PLENTY of volunteers and police on the course. A couple of clocks on the course would have helped pacing efforts. My wife and kids really enjoyed the activities that were put on during the race.
