Comments:

Felt good at the beginning. Ran too fast on the first climb up King George Highway.
What would you do differently?:

Better control of my pace. HTFU a bit more as well.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around for 5-10 minutes. Ate 1/2 banana, mandarin orange, drank Infinit recovery drink.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Went out a little too hard at the beginning of the race. Warmed up too hard as well. Still recovering from a cold with occasional coughing. Lack of HTFU.

Event comments:

Did well considering the forecast was for sun and it ended up raining. Could have moved the first corner to avoid the muddy grass slope coming out of the parking lot. Event seemed to start late.
