Comments:

Went out too hot, 7:30 first mile which included having to retie my shoe twice, then 8 mm, then 9, so I definitely did not pace myself well. Happy with my overall time and finish though. I was shooting for sub 25 with 24:30 as my hopes, just about there.
What would you do differently?:

Pace better. I was still passing people the entire way and I really don't remember many people passing me after I tied my shoe, but I think if I stayed around 8mm the whole way I may have had some more to push the last mile instead of just the last 1/4 mile.
Post race
Warm down:

Beer, couple apple donuts, listened to some music.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing that more running won't fix.

Event comments:

First annual, but it was a great race. Well done with times and registration and the location was really nice. Great race for a first time.
