Comments:

Focused in on a well known 70 year old racewalker and did my best to catch him. I never did but it helped me keep my pace up. Talked to him after the race and he wanted to get a pair of my Loco racing flats.

What would you do differently?:

Given my condition (cold) not much. I was at 2 minutes the first mile I just ran out of steam.

Post race

Warm down:

Stretched alittle and walked a bit

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Being sick with a cold didn't help. I didn't seem to get too winded but just didn't have my normal snap.

Event comments:

After getting home I crashed in bed and slept for two hours!
