Age Group Rank = 0/

Event warmup:

Ate a granola bar. Taped up my left ankle.

Run

1h 20m
6.2 miles
12m 54s min/mile

Comments:

Had some problems with the ankle, but it is really easy to get caught up in the distractions, there were several bands playing on the route and thousands of spectators. I walked before "Cardiac Hill" and then ran up the hill and passed a bunch of people.

What would you do differently?:

Maybe wait a little later to take the GU I brought with me.

Post race

Warm down:

Basically walking to the train to catch a ride back home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The sea of people and the events on the side of the road. Would really need to qualify for a number in one of the front groups to be able to actually run the entire race.

Event comments:

A very cool way to start off the celebration of the 4th of July: running a 10k with 55,000 people. Not to mention the "famous" Peachtree finishers only t-shirt.
