Comments:

Had a beautiful morning for the race- some clouds, not too warm, and reasonable humidity.

I tried to hold back more in the beginning of the race after blowing up last year. It's hard to do that in the first 3 miles or so, because that's the flat/fast part of the race.. but I was generally able to keep the pace under control. I had a couple of painful moments in miles 8 and 9, and little kick for the end, but much better than last year overall.

The foot also felt OK, even without the NSAIDs this AM.. I felt a twinge and pulled up a little during the last half of the race, but it didn't significantly affect the run.

I ended up finishing within 1 second of my time at the Cherry Blossom 10-miler earlier this year, though that felt like a faster race for some reason.

Overall it was good to be racing again, and happy to have some more lined up this fall.

great job at the race.  It is pretty hard to not really try and fly for the first 3 miles.
