Pre-race routine:

Had a tough time sleeping as there were some pretty loud thunderstorms that woke me up and I really struggled to get back to sleep. Ate a bowl of Kashi cereal with blueberries, and got ready to leave with the family.
Event warmup:

Walked to starting area and jogged around a block or two and spent some time stretching.

Comments:

First ever race - So it was a PR for sure. I was happy to stay under 10 min/miles!!

I felt really good throughout the entire race. I thought that I may have left too much in the tank, but that was proved wrong pretty quickly as I tried to pick it up for the last mile. I left it on the course and am pretty proud of my self for doing this.

Lap Time Distance Pace/Speed AHR MHR
1 09m 47s 1.00 miles 09m 47s /mile 149 177
2 10m 12s 1.00 miles 10m 12s /mile 161 174
3 09m 36s 1.00 miles 09m 36s /mile 165 180
4 01m 18s 0.16 miles 08m 08s /mile 169 172

From my Garmin, does not quite match official time from event.
What would you do differently?:

Could have maintained my pace in the 2nd mile. Not really sure what happened there. Otherwise I am pretty happy with the race.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked back to the car with family, and stretched out the legs.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Overall fitness and running ability. I just started training seriously in the past couple of months. I could barely run a mile 3 months ago.

Event comments:

Had a blast and now onto my sprint tri in July.
