Comments:

Fairly scenic, no port johns along the course, minimal water stations, no spectators along 90% of the course. If your not running for any kind of time or pr, this is a nice little small town race.

What would you do differently?:

Start closer to the front of the pack.

Post race

Warm down:

Walked for a few minutes, kissed my wife, went home and popped open a beer and then realized it was only 10:00 in the morning.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Congestion on the trail. Stitch in my side over the last 2 miles and I'm generally not a fast runner.

Performance:	Good
Course:	Short run through the town of Leesburg and the remainder on the W&OD Trail. Since runners were moving in both directions on the trail starting with the 10k turnaround, you couldn't maintain any kind of pace until after you past that turnaround point. Very congested.
