Comments:

It was freaking cold with about a 20 mph north wind. I couldn't really get warmed up. The whole run was a struggle for me. Not a cold weather competitor.
What would you do differently?:

Wear another layer and stretch more before the start.

Warm down:

Got to my car and turned on the heat!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

clothing restriction, not prepared, sore hip, cold weather, strong wind. Is that enough?

Event comments:

Not much organization. I think there might've been one drink station. Very few volunteers.
