Comments:

Not having run since September 16th (Reach the Beach), I was disappointed in my time, but not surprised. I felt sluggish (the cold weather didn't help either). I missed my goal time by 4+ minutes. No shin splits - very pleased with this!
What would you do differently?:

Practice, practice, practice! Skip one shirt layer. Skip the jacket unless it was pouring out.
Post race
Warm down:

Walking, trying to stay warm, juice, coffee, water, yogurt, donut.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Limited training within the past month.

Event comments:

A fun race - and very close to home! Enthusiastic voluneteers and great snacks afterwards. I'll definitely do this one again!
