Comments:

I wanted to go out slow and make sure I didn't get caught up in the adrenaline of starting the race. My first two miles were a little too slow, but I got going in mile 3. One hiccup in mile 6, but I got back on track. By the time I hit mile ten, I was gassed. Legs felt heavy and started to get sore. I was really hurting once I got into that last mile.

What would you do differently?:

Obviously I need some more stamina to finish stronger.

Post race

Warm down:

Stretched, had banana and water, hung out with Le and LoLo and waited for the rest of the group to come in.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Needed a few more long runs to get the stamina up.

Event comments:

They nailed it on the first race. Looking forward to next year.

Course:	A little hilly compared to what I expected through Fort Wayne. It was scenic though, which was nice. I now hate the zoo, seem like we were in there forever.
