Comments:

I did exactly what I wanted to do: was shooting for about a 7:40 pace and I hit that.

What would you do differently?:

Probably look to cut my pace in the latter half of the race.

Post race

Warm down:

Walk, sit, eat oranges, bananas and bagles

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My own caution with regard to pacing. Have never competed in a 1/2 before, so I had no idea what pace I would truly be capable of. Picked a pace I thought I could keep and I kept it, but probably could have won or at least placed in age group (took 5th) had I been slightly more aggressive.

Event comments:

I'll be back!
