Comments:

My hip flexors gave me some problems -- AGAIN. But I think I paced myself well and I enjoyed the race. I had a lot left in the tank at the end so I was able to push hard for the last 1/4 mile or so. I also enjoyed running this with Cindy. I am so proud of her, she was able to do this just four months after giving birth... Amazing!

Warm down:

Walked for a long time as we tried to find the car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The fact that I am slow!
