First race ever. Ran entire way. Nice even pace through first two miles. lost track of mileage markers, so did not know when to pick up pace. Began final kick a little too early.

15th/20 in Senior Cydesdales.
What would you do differently?:

Pick up pace at 24:00 or 2-mile marker, which ever comes first.

1. Conditioning.

Performance: Good
Actual time start line to finish was 32:10. Crowd was so big at the start that it took 36 seconds (actual time =32:10 =6.433 minutes/km; 10.38 per mile) to cross the START line! If you are worried about a good time, get close to the start line.
Course: Two long easy hills, otherwise pretty level. Not well marked as far as distances go.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
