Tried to drink some water at mi. 4--mistake. Didn't need it, and I inhaled some of it leading to difficulty breathing. Had to slow down a bit to calm the breathing.
What would you do differently?:

No drinking during race. Otherwise, I think I paced it correctly.

Warm down:

Stretching in the park afterwards, ate a bannana and bagel and drank a powerade.

Nothing but limited run fitness.

They do an amazing job organizing a race of 41,000 people. Everything ran very well and I was very pleased with this as my first 10k race.
