Comments:

good run; started off way too fast (6:30) on the first mile and then held a steady 7:58 average for all miles after that. I was amazed. This was the first hard run I have had since way before getting pregnant so it was my 'come back' race. Goals were just to run under 2 hours and have no postpartum incontinence! I felt strong and fast the whole race. Made sure to switch sides of the road to avoid any posterior tib or iTB issues
What would you do differently?:

train harder and kick butt
Post race
Warm down:

walked back to watch friends run; drink full gatorade, ate banana and then drank some beer. My quads were SHOT from this hard run without proper training

What limited your ability to perform faster:

should have trained at pace/tempo
