Comments:

so i ran the first mile or so and was annoyed cause of the congestion so decided to break away a little bit.. around mile 3 a girl passed me but i noticed that she had a FL 70.3 hat on and was small and quick... pace booty, couldnt keep up she was about the only one that passed me. there was a tool guy that kept switching positions with me and cutting me off.... around mile 9 i caught up to a guy in a triKC top and paced behind him. he wanted to try to speed it up at mile 10 i said no thanks then at 11 kicked it up a notch. Last big hill at the end with the wind in your face made it interesting.

What would you do differently?:

start off a little faster
Post race
Warm down:

little stretching and walking around

What limited your ability to perform faster:

3 big hills

Event comments:

COLD AND WINDY after the race.. i talked to Ryan the race director and asked him what his planning behind having big hills at the end of his races... he just laughed a little and asked me if i liked the course.
