Comments:

I'm not a runner but the 1st 25 minutes I ran without stopping or feeling the need to which for me is great. I promised myself a rest when I got to the hill portion of the run. Took me 42 seconds to get to the actual start of the race because of all the people.
What would you do differently?:

Dress up!
Post race
Warm down:

More coffee and walking back to the park.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing really, getting better all the time.

Event comments:

I recommend this to anyone in the Seattle area. It was so much fun!

Nice race! 25 minutes without even feeling like you needed to walk, that's fantastic. I'll let you know when that happens for me. I always want to walk. What's next?
