Comments:

This run, though tough, is a really fun race. It is small and on a pleasant path. THere are great awards. Good snacks and IT'S ONLY TEN BUCKS. T-shirts on;y to the first 25 entrants.
My 5 year old helped work the water stop with her 10 year old cousin. Unfortunately I didn't have time to stop.
My Sister, her husband and son also ran the race.
What would you do differently?:

For once - nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

One 1 mile loop. Drink a quart.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I had a sore calf from cramping at a race the previous week that worried me but it wound up not being a factor.

Event comments:

This is one of my favorite races. I have won it all three years it has been offered. It is super cheap and lots of fun.

Performance: Good
The first loop I planned to run in second place but no one was really setting a decent pace so I ran out ahead. Second loop someone stepped up and I allowed them to move into first. The pace was harder for the rest of the race but I was within my comfort zone. about a quarter mile left in the third lap I picked up the pace and pulled ahead. I finished well ahead of second (the guy who was running third)
Course: This is a challenging course. My quads were in pain for several days because of the down hill pounding.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
