Comments:

I started out too fast - first mile in just under 9 min. WOW! But the rest went really well. I feel faster. Oh, this is so awesome!
What would you do differently?:

I shouldn't have eaten so much yogurt before the race (one cup, seems small enough). Work on speed.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk, walk, stretch. Eat a snickers marathon bar (race sponsor) and banana.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cold. I was so cold starting out. It probably would have been a good idea to use my inhaler, but I left it at home (don't usually need it.) Also need to work on flat surfaces more.

Event comments:

This event was so well organized. The renovated, new additions to downtown Albany are so nice. The race was a great way to see the progress. Westover High School's drum line was there - really helped keep me moving at the end. And they even had little booths, something I haven't seen at a race before now (I guess I'm just hitting the smaller ones).

Performance: Good
Course: Nice. Albany's pretty flat, so what other people were calling hills I was calling a slight rise of surface. Although, after training on hills, I'm finding flat surfaces a little harder to deal with. Weird.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
