Comments:

Run has all races running together almost 2500 people on a small road didn't thin out until after the first mile. Also large hill in first mile ran this about a minute slower due to these facts. Rest of run went good, sprinted last mile for my fastest mile ever.

What would you do differently?:

Bring some nutrition with me, forgot it in car.

Post race

Warm down:

Walking around until results posted, ate a bannana and some chocolate chip cookies. Had a bottle of water. Walk/ran 2 miles back to car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Early season race.
