Post race
Warm down:

walked around and drank alot. felt pretty loose. waited for my mom to finish and jogged out to meet her. ran with her for a bit and then went to the finish.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

late season lack of training. bought a house, painted for a week, moved a week before the race. too busy and tired from all the excitement around the move.
