Comments:

I was very ill with a sudden upper respiratory infection, so did not perform very well -- I considered myself successful merely for having finished.

Not run when ill. Eat less the night before.

Warm down:

Stretched, went into WhiteWater and immersed myself in cold water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Illness, feeling of fullness. Lack of radio.

Event comments:

This course gets a bad rap for being too hilly, but mostly it was doable -- the hills are lengthy, but gradual.

Oh, for those who aren't religious, there was a rather religious vibe to this race.
