Comments:

Very crowded. Had a hockey game the night before and didn't get to bed until 11. Then lost an hour to DST.
What would you do differently?:

I would get there a little earlier and not feel rushed before the start. Also, drink more water the night before. Make sure and put Bodyglide where my bra strap goes.
Get more sleep!

Warm down:

Walked back to my car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Headache, lack of sleep due to hockey game night before.

Event comments:

Really enjoyed the scenery and cool racing with 20,000 or so other people. Will do it again next year.
