Good run. Quads killing after mile 10, really left it out there.
What would you do differently?:

Trained more, but given this was a winter race and I had no specific goal other than to do it, I'm glad I did it, and I PR'd!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, wish I didn't have to stop to talk to friends (they were injured and couldn't walk) because I was getting extremely stiff.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of speed work training.

Event comments:

Awesome winter race, would definitely do it again!

I will assume you have not run consistently more than 6 miles and have never completed a half-marathon. I believe running your first half-marathon is a big task which requires dedication and work.
