Comments:

Started much closer to the front than years' past. Did not pass any strollers or dogs, passed by 2 strollers. Much better decision. Felt good the whole way...rested, not out of breath, no troubles.
What would you do differently?:

Pick up the pace earlier...on mile 4. Also, next year I need a funny hat so Esme can find me better.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk. Talk to Michael and Elizabeth Cannon. They are expecting a baby in May.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

nothing...could have trained much more.

Event comments:

It is fun...and just right degree of organization for a neighborhood event. Not as many spectators this year as last year...but fun.
