Post race
Warm down:

Lots of walking, schmoozing. It was a chilly evening, so no trouble with cooling down.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not in the best shape, and other misc. things going wrong that day.

Event comments:

Post race events were good, but I was too cold to stay around for them. Richard and I left before the awards cuz I was so cold and to be honest, didn't think I'd place with the time I had. I was shocked the next day when I looked up the results and found I placed!

Didn't even see the 1st mile marker, so couldn't get splits.
