Comments:

1st mile race in close to 25 years! Probably went out a bit hard, lost some on the uphill, felt I finished decently. Only recent workouts was I able to run sub 80-second 400s. Feel I have enough in me to knock many seconds off.
What would you do differently?:

Try to go out just a 2-3 seconds slower, push the hill.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked/jogged back uptown (from 60th to 97th Street). A good 2 miles (detoured onto Madison for a bagel and coffee!)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Do more speedwork, more quarters and faster. Throw in some 200s too. Get those legs turning over quicker.

Event comments:

Great race, very enjoyable, well organized. Parking was a bit scary at first, as I couldn't find a spot. Would do again.
