Comments:

I was clearly in 3rd place after mile 1. I didn't feel like trying to put in the effort to get 2nd (and probably wouldn't have succeeded anyway) , and 4th place was well behind me, so I just cruised it in. This race was never about actual overall time anyway. Hey, I won a free pair of shoes (for 'first place' masters, although the overall winner was also a masters runner) -- who can complain about that?

The race was much hillier than I expected.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Injured foot. Very little training.

It was a nice race through a pretty area of Pensacola.
