Comments:

Love this race. Not too crowded, although I did get caught up in a pile at the start. Of course, since I was so late, that was really my fault.
Was on pace for a GREAT run till about mile 7.

What would you do differently?:

Start closer to the front so there is less dodging. Maybe pace a little better.
Post race
Warm down:

Drink water, go to bathroom and cheer on Nick an Scott.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training and maybe pacing. My legs felt great, only a little sore the day after. My HR went through the roof near the end and I felt like I was pushing it, but wasn't going faster.

Event comments:

Love the beer truck. Also, publix has great chocolate chip cookies, so I was very happy.
