Comments:

In spite of hills which I have not trained for, run went very well and I felt really good. First and last mile was strong. Used Garmin repeatedly to watch my pace. Found myself going fater than 8:30 a few times and knew I couldn't keep that pace up so slowed down. This more controlled approach to pace really made a difference. Strong contrast to prior week 5K when I ran out of steam in the first mile due to too fast a pace for my current conditioning.
What would you do differently?:

Training for hills-- otherwise, nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Lots of water, then banana, orange, apple, watermellon, cinnamon bread.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Only the direct and indirect impact of the hills/

Event comments:

Race was to honor fallen Marine, PFC Ryan Jerabek. The turnout was awesome (>1,000). Marine race contingent, presentations, family speeches, MC - John Maino, skydivers, excellent volunteers and food/drink, Eagle III helicopter, and absolutley perfect weather made this a truly memorable event.
