Comments:

Run was good. According to the official clocks, my first mile was 8:30, second 8:30, third 8:00, fourth 9:00 (it rained VERY hard for this whole mile, that slowed me down) and fifth about 8:00 - my net time would have been slightly faster because the chip recorded actual start time.
What would you do differently?:

Try to push through the rain better. If I'd worn a hat it wouldn't have been driving into my eyeballs! LOL.

Event comments:

Good race. Not enough for the kids to do. =) Everything broke down when the storm came, which was a shame. I'm pretty happy with how it went, especially considering the heat and humidity which normally limits my performance.

Performance: Good
Course: Very slight hills, some nice downhills, mostly flat. During the course one girl behind me commented, "These hills are kicking my ass." I said, "Honey, these are not hills." Then I ran away. Fast.
Keeping cool Below average Drinking Just right
