Warm down:

Walked around lost and confused. Kinda like the pre-race.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My strength, speed and stamina.

Event comments:

My first race, I have nothing to compare it to. When I saw all the cars trying to exit 59, I said I will NEVER do another race. After I finished, I started thinking about doing the half-marathon next year. I think I'm insane. I am really happy with my performance. YEA, ME!!
