Comments:

Stopped for Kisses at corner of Del Ray. Set new personal record for this race. Fewer cheering people out, probably due to the foggy and misty weather.
What would you do differently?:

Train more. Have hardly run since marathon. Legs are a bit sore on Friday.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The lady next to Paddy and me for second half of race who kept moaning. She was very distracting.

Event comments:

Lots of fun. Saw Kim Winter at the last turn. It is good to see people with goofy hats although I nearly stomped a dog in the first mile...some things, like dogs and leashes, should be left at home.
