Comments:

Paced Kerrin for first three miles and she kept up with me through that. Talked to her and encouraged her to try and keep pace for mile 4 also, but she was getting fatigued. Ran a good last mile (7:44) to close out the race.
What would you do differently?:

Ran a good race for dual purposes - pacing Kerrin and to get a decent time for myself.
Post race
Warm down:

We all walked around to relax the muscles. Had the massage company do a stretch on all three of us after the race.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing, I ran well.

Event comments:

A nice course, for a good cause (Easton Cross-Country program). A good race for Thanksgiving morning.

Course: Nice course with some up/down hills, but none were major. Adjusted my time for race to actual net time (35 seconds faster than published time).
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
