Still an abysmal runner but was more comfortable than usual despite hip pain. Paid more attention to form.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and ate a banana.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bad weather and hip pain and just being out of shape. Haven't done the work so can't expect great results. Difficulty seeing due to eyes dilated.

Event comments:

Expected bad weather but overall got lucky with no lightning and cool temperature.
