Warm down:

Walking around, stretching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm just not a fast runner. And I got discouraged and grumpy around mile 9. That, and my right ankle started hurting after only 1 mile and was hurting and tight the entire race, which made running difficult and painful.

Event comments:

I would do this race again. Its a nice course and very pretty and fun. I just need to dislike running so much.
