Run
Comments: I went out too fast (around an 8:15 min mile) but was able to hold onto that pace for the first 1 1/2 miles. I slowed down on the second half but managed to finish strong. All in all a great race for me. What would you do differently?: Either start out slower or have someone push me at the quicker pace. I probably could have comfortable ran a sub-9 minute mile on my own but may have been able to hang onto the 8:15 pace had I pushed myself harder and stayed out of my head. Post race
Warm down: Walked through the finish shoot, grabbed a banana and chatted with colleagues. What limited your ability to perform faster: Starting at too fast of a pace. Event comments: This is a good race, although they didn't have timing chips so my time is based on my watch. The official time was 27:15, which was still a great time for me.

Ate a bowl of oatmeal, drove to the race site, and stood under the bridge trying to stay dry.
Just the walk from the car to the starting line
