Comments:

Went out fast, first 5K in 25 minutes, then sort of slowed a little in the next 5K. Lost a bit of motivation. Since I hadn't eaten since last night, and only had a small tomato juice before leaving the house, I think that didn't help too much either.

Didn't take advantage of the wate stations either, just carried on.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe hydrate a little better before the race, slow it down a little in the first half and pick it up in the second.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked to the food station, had a banana and then left and was home by 10am

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Hydration and fueling before the race.

Event comments:

Good race, happy with my time, plenty of great volunteers.
