Comments:

I was not mentally in this game. The road was wet, which freaked me out a bit. Also, this entire race is downhill, which I thought would be awesome, but afterwards, my legs were sore in a very different way than I was used to.
What would you do differently?:

warm up beforehand, clear mind of extraneous crap.
Post race
Warm down:

Rain or pouring rain in last 2-3 miles. Soaking wet, walked to food tent and to pick up my checked bag on the bus. Found my friend Zai and we headed out to brunch.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

mentally unfocused

Event comments:

The course is not very attractive, especially compared to Cherry Blossom in DC. The weather also made it crummy, overcast and raining on and off. It was amazing to see SO MANY RUNNERS! Glad I did it, but probably won't do this race again.
