Comments:

I felt REALLY GOOD! I kept a very steady 8min pace, which really surprised me. My 5 mile split was 40:46, which means I actually had a negative split (it wasn't as hilly in the 2nd half)
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched out and ate some bananas, oranges, watermelon, and bagels. Drank lots of water. Cooled off in the lake

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I am really pleased with my time and couldn't think of being able to go much faster than I did.

Event comments:

Can't beat the scenery! I did very well keeping hydrated (I stopped at every water station and walked while drinking) and I didn't feel wiped out at the end, which is good considering I'll be doing a swim and bike before a run of this length next month. Perhaps because I because didn't put any pressure on myself with this race (I viewed it as a training run) I was able to do so well...

Yeah, it's funny that way, how when we don't put all this pressure on ourselves we do really good.

Sounds like a great run... maybe someday I'll be able to run as fast as you.
