Comments:

I found my breathing very strained in this race compared to previous efforts. At the time I thought my HR unusually eleveated, but checking it against previous events, it was the same overall.
What would you do differently?:

Do more speedwork. Wear lighter clothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Got some water, a banana, and walked.

Event comments:

Very popular--perhaps too popular--well organized race. Chip-timing was available and race results were up before the end of the day. (I had to leave the race before the awards, so I assume the results were available on site by 11 a.m.)
