Comments:

Sped up after my first mile time was 10 flat, I knew I could run faster than that. It felt pretty good most of the run, talking to people and pushing myself. I was unsure of what my time was going to be because I kept running badly this past week, so I'm really happy it was under 50min!
What would you do differently?:

nothing, it was great. Although, running races without people you know can sometimes feel a little lonely.
Post race
Warm down:

Lots of walking and water

What limited your ability to perform faster:

lack of training, just need to get going on it more

Event comments:
