Comments:

Started off good, but the second mile got me again this year. It is a just a slight to moderate uphill grade for the entire mile that really saps your energy. Had a stitch beginning at mile 2 that I just couldn't shake, so that didn't help my efforts either.
Post race
Warm down:

easy jog.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

stitch, humidity.
