Comments:

I am getting over a cold, so this wasn't the run I had hoped. Going in, I was planning to keep a pace of 9:15 or 9:30. I just started at a comfortable pace and at the first mile maker, I was on target for a 9:30 mile. I maintained that pace. According to my watch, though, my time was 28:48, which is about 30 seconds faster than the official time. The pace with the official results was 9:25, but using my time, it was 9:29. I'm not sure what is off with the official results. Regardless, it was a good race and I'm happy with the results.
What would you do differently?:

Not be sick
Post race
Warm down:

Walk around race site looking for Anne.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

A cold.

Event comments:

Strangely enough, the race started about 10 minutes early. I don't think I've seen that happen before.
