Comments:

packed in at start but that was fine, no real ambitious plans for this race, just kind of a "go out and do it and what happens happens" kind of thingy. Told lisa (irunfit) that i would be happy running 6 min pace (18:30) so to come in at 17:50 was pretty cool. first mile was 5:18 (think the mile was short) second mile was 6:00 and the third (including the .1) was 6:31. was a nice run and the shwag included a free bottle of champagne (i opted for the non-alcoholic of course!).........
What would you do differently?:

if it was a serious event for me i wouldnt do hard workouts 2 and 3 days prior and rest up some, but otherwise i wouldnt do anything different. it is what it is!

Warm down:

back out on the course to cheer in fellow donkai (irunfit, nashers, tall tridad and trizimmerman) also friends that were there too.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

nadda

Nice race dude!  Thanks for coming back out to cheer in us mortal folks!!  Fun stuff yesterday.  Although I'm disappointed that the race report made no mention of my awesome post-race breakdancing.

Wow you were smoking!  Nice race.  Sorry I missed you - saw you as I was going out the door to head home, but we were caught in the massive wave of people and decided not to swim upstream.

I agree the first mile marker must have been off.  I didn't think I ran that fast for the first mile or had that big a dropoff for mile 2.
