Comments:

Felt like dropping out around the 2 mile mark. But didn't. Took a long time to get into the race. Around the 2.5 mile mark two people pasted me and I hung onto them. We went back and forth and I ended up passing them. Then I was in the mood to run. So I kept rooling. Really strong finish. Had full leg stride and legs were realy loose. It felt great to finish like that after the tri.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

None. Walk around dump water over my head then walked out to get some food and drink.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Doing a tri the day before.

Event comments:

Really wasn't in the mood to run. Didn't klnow anyone who was racing. But did it anyway. Warmup was tough. Legs were dead. But they woke up around the 2.5 mile mark. I guess I just can't let a woman pass me.

Great pace, you are speedy!  You will still be faster than most on the run leg of a tri!

Great race, hoff!!! In true Endless Summer tradition, hope you picked up your hardware while kicking sand in your competitors' faces.

You may be the fastest runner here on BT. I know it isn't a competition, but I just don't recall reading times as fast as yours. Fantastic race.
