Comments:

I went out pretty hard as usual, but felt as though I eased into my pacing parameters. My plan was to go all out on the last 5k, but by the time I hit mile 10 I was ahead of goal time and was starting to burn out. The last 5k ended up being just trying to hang on.
What would you do differently?:

Negative split the run
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and drank plenty of water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I really think I paced it well, but went harder than I should of the first 10k.

Event comments:

Great for first time half marathoners. Perfect temperature and very flat.
