Comments:

This was a good run for me. I was able to keep a pretty steady pace throughout the whole course (even on the uphills). The weather was a little cool and it was misty/sprinkling the whole time, but not too bad. I was aiming for a time around 45:00 so missed that by a little, but still took almost 3-1/2 minutes off my time from last year, so happy with that.

What would you do differently?:

Maybe push a little harder at the end, especially since it was a downhill to the finish line. I almost feel like I had too much left in me after the race.

Warm down:

Got some water, skipped the beer (line was way too long) and headed back to the car.
