Comments:

Didn't feel like this was my best run, but this wasn't an "A" race. I basically trained through this race. My legs were actually pretty sore before I started. I even ran 4.5 miles the night before. This race was supposed to be fun and it was. My main objective was to beat my mountain biking buddy who I never get to beat cycling. He's got 10 years of racing over me! It was fun to beat him in something. I was also there with friends from work. They were quite a bit slower, but I got a chance to hang out with them before and after the race.
What would you do differently?:

Next year, I'm at least going to rest the day before the race. I'd also start further in the front to get a clearer path.

Event comments:

Good race!! Very well organized. Lots of runners. Navigating the start was tough weaving in and out of slower runners. That was my fault though. I started with friends expecting a slower run. There was plenty of water during the race, and water/snacks/hot chocolate after the race. We got a really good long sleeve tech shirt, but it is brown and ugly. They gave away a bunch of turkey's. They gave them to the top 5 in each AG and had a random race number raffle for at least 20 more. I missed top 5 in my AG, and a turkey, by 25 seconds!!!!!
