It was hot. I was conservative in my pace as this was my first HM.

What would you do differently?:

Train more intervals as that is what is needed to run this course quickly.

Warm down:

Party after with music, bbq and free beer!

The hills and my lack of knowing a good pace for them.

Performance:	Good
Course:	They don't call it Hospital HILL Run for nothing. Several big hills on the course. Also several short but steep hills. The finish was nice as it was all downhill the last mile. All on closed city streets with lots of police and volunteers. There were at least 5 live bands playing along and course.
