Easy jog from bathrooms to start line.

Post race

Warm down:

Little bit of stretching, chocolate-chip banana bread. Then realized I was back to freezing, so I grabbed hot chocolate and headed for the car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I wasn't exactly training for this one because I'm training for a marathon instead. It is a hilly and difficult course, and I've been doing a lot more indoor running than I usually do. Still, it was a solid effort and an improvement last year's time.
