Comments:

Ran good, legs felt good. Problem was my core strength couldn't hold my running form when I tried to pick up the pace. I need to work on strengthening my core muscles.

Very pleased with my pace... 6:48 / mile is fantastic :)
What would you do differently?:

Don't drink and run... I just ended up a coughing mess. Dump it over your head or don't grab it.
Post race
Warm down:

Walking, eating, drinking for 15 minutes. Felt fine the rest of the day and the next.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training, lack of core strength.

Event comments:

Enjoyed the course, and the setup. Would do the race again.
