Comments:

trail was very soft, but at least shaded as rest of course was in the hot sun. Wanted to go out faster then ever (did: 5:43). Weren't too many turns, but they killed me. Also turn up gravel drive just past second water stop was a killer.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing :-)
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched a little, and cheered rest of friends in.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

It's a PR! Not much! Calves weer a little sore.... ran a very fast 8 miles on Monday, and an 18:32 3 miler on Wednesday!

Event comments:

Plenty of bottled water and power ade after, plus pretzels, bagels, sliced oranges, and bananas. Nice Spread! Could've posted results quicker, but not bad.
