Good run - I felt good through the whole race - some of the hills were a little tiring, but I managed to get thru it without stopping and that was my main goal.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing....I think I did great for my 1st race
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched out and got some Starbucks!! of course I went to the RFYL store and poked around a lil bit before I went to get some coffee

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of time training - this was my first race and I have been training for only 2 weeks and come from a non running background, well, accept for when I was in the ARMY. SO - I was happy with my results

Congrats on your first race ! Good job.

That was a few hills, wasn't it ? Not the fastest course.

I was helping give out bib #'s before the race so I got no warm-up. Was hoping for snow... still hoping.....


Again congrats !
