Comments:

I didn't feel relaxed throughout the entire race. This is a faster pace than I am used to. Need to train for more speed work. I loved the post race party and will do this race again.
What would you do differently?:

Do a warmup run once we get into the city. It takes me several miles to feel warmed up these days.
Post race
Warm down:

Went to the post race party and had a beer!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wind, lack of warmup, maybe my plantar fasciits was a slight factor.
