Comments:

Great race, didn't worry about pace so much as my own effort and trying to pass the few people ahead of me. Really worked off the guys ahead of me when the wind picked up. Intentionally dropped back so I could draft off of other guys running a few times, that really made a huge difference. Was amazed that I pulled off a 3 minute P.R.!!!

Warm down:

2 mi warm down stretched, and got a massage.

Event comments:

Great race. Finishing in the baseball stadium is just cool. I just wish they would let the spectators fill the whole right field stands. Great course, that is really fast, and you always know where the other runners are at.
