Comments:

I felt good. I ran most of the way with Kevin, Ken F., and Hunter. I picked it up a little towards the end and felt like I had a strong finish.
What would you do differently?:

I could have probably run the 1st mile faster.
Have Hunter use his inhaler before the race next time :) Bad Mom
Post race
Warm down:

Headed to the Surf Club House and had some yogurt and a banana then went to Starbucks for coffee

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My knees and hips are still a little sore.

Event comments:

Good race in Madison. I would do it again.
