Comments:

Couldn't figure out how my 2nd mile was so fast (7:12) and my third mile was so slow (8:35). I've heard that the mile markers were wrong, which would make sense. I felt good the entire way, until I saw my time for that 3rd mile..wish I knew what it really was.
What would you do differently?:

Get closer to the front at the start. With 7800 people, it's hard to get a good pace going at the start. Way too many people up front that shouldn't have been!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked through the shoot - grabbed a banana and a powerade. Mile walk back to the car to cool down.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Too many people to run around during the first mile.

Event comments:

Haven't verified that the mile markers were wrong, but several people have told me that they think they were. This was the first year for this course, so it makes sense that someone messed up marking the course.
