Comments:

Tried to go out slow then speed up. Because of the hills, where I am at in my training, and that I've worked out for 13 straight days before this race, I was not able to speed up much. That's fine. It is what it is, I'll get much better.
What would you do differently?:

I'm cool. First 10K ever. I have only run 6 or more miles a few times. Just have to get a lot more work-outs in over the next couple months.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched a teeny bit. Drove home for an hour.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Waiting until recently to get serious about training. Averaged 3 work-out days per month from August 2007 to Now.

Event comments:

Two for two good results with Ultra-Fit.

Performance: Average
Not sure why these folks have 6-8 seconds added to our times for the official times. Both this event and the 5K two weeks ago did the same time. I keep my own time and the time on their own clock showed 8 seconds quicker both races than the official posted time. No biggy, just pointing it out if someone sees any discrepancy with my times.
Course: Hilly. First 1.2 miles up hill. Next mile in the mushy grass, Another 1/2 mile down hill, another 1/2 mile up hill. Some flat portions. Last 3/4 miles down hill.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
