Comments:

Felt goof for first ever race. Maybe could have gone harder, but my primary goal was to run the entire route by never stopping for any reason.
What would you do differently?:

The only thing I would do differently would speed up, but that is dependant on my training
Post race
Warm down:

A couple bananas and waters. Light stretching at the post race party.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My size (6'9"-270) and short training. Went from no running to the mini starting early Nov 2008.

Event comments:

My first race of any sort. Had a blast. Wife and I are already planning for next years.
