Comments:

I missed the final turn and burned well over a minute trying to determine which direction to go, I made a good guess and wasn't too upset as this was really just a workout for me, next year I will do this again and win the fricking thing!
What would you do differently?:

More preparation, though I just started back training to get my base up to where it needs to be, if I can keep working at it I should be really moving come Wildflower.

Warm down:

Saw the wife and kids made it, though didn't see them till the last second as I hit the finisher chute.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

training

Event comments:

Some sort of signal at the last turn would have been good, but overall a great grass roots race!

Performance: Good
Averaged 190HR for the race, and spiked up to about 205 the last half mile as I pushed the pace to approx a 6min mile.
Course: Great course, some hills, some wind in the face but overall was fun. I would run the same course again in training if it wasn't 25 miles away.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
