Comments:

The run was great--started out too fast at a 7:15 mm so I had to slow down because I knew I couldn't keep it up for another 2.1. I do that all the time. Must learn to pace myself in the short races.

What would you do differently?:

Pace myself differently -- should be doing negative splits. I got lucky.

Post race

Warm down:

Walk around for about ten minutes, then stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Started off too fast.
