Comments:

I started off strong and finished pretty good! I didn't get sucked into the fast start and kept my pace steady.
What would you do differently?:

Make sure I bring a snack to have before and after the race. It was too long between breaky & race time. The after food was lacking.
Post race
Warm down:

Didn't do enough stretching and then the drive home didn't help. I forgot my ice packs for my knee but it didn't feel that bad. My quads on the other hand.......

What limited your ability to perform faster:

experience!

Event comments:

For the price, is was a good race. It would have been nice to have some more volunteers at some of the aid stations and some better 'after race' food. It was a great race to gage how my training is going.... I think I'm right on track for the BMO 1/2 in 5 weeks!!! WOW.......

Well done Kari, your hard work over the past few months has really paid off! THat is a great race for your first time out, you ran faster than your average training runs but you still ran smart, not getting caught up with the other people in your wave. I'm very proud of your accomplishments! Keep it up and we'll see you out at the BMO 1/2!!!
