Comments:

I had a very bad cramp under my right rib for the first 3.5 miles. That slowed my pace considerabling and I lost about 50 places. In the last 1.5 miles the cramp was gone and got into a good rythem as my pace dropped down below 7:00 /mi.
I learned post race that it is caused by breathing shallow and fast. In the future I need to raise my arm and breath deeply.
Post race
Warm down:

minor stretching and a quick swim in the lake to cool down

Event comments:

Time Out Productions put on a well organized and friendly race from the parking to the post race BBQ.
