Comments:

I should have known better to do a run in the middle of July. I knew there would be no shade, but I wasn't prepared for the heat and humidity despite my training in the middle of the days to try and get used to it.
What would you do differently?:

Train harder. Push myself more so during the race I wouldn't have struggled so much.
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed a bunch of fluids, stretched and walked back to my car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Me, the heat, not training sufficiently.

Event comments:

I don't think I would do this race again unless the course is changed. I'm not a tough enough runner for what the race entailed.
