Comments:

The first mile was the most challenging for me. Partly, because it was uphill and very cold. After that I was able to go faster. I am glad that I didn't go out too fast like I did at the Rio Grande 5k. My strategy was to maintain a 9'0" mile for the first two miles and pick it up the last mile. I felt good during and after this race.
What would you do differently?:

I need to work on speedwork, but with this race I'm glad I stuck with my strategy.

Event comments:

This was the hospital's first time putting on this race. There seemed to be a good turn out of runners and plenty of volunteers. Lots of snacks and drinks at the end of the race.
