Comments:

Ran at a pretty good clip, trying to pace around 10:00, maybe a little slower, and then pick it up toward the end. Lost more time than I realized on a few of the early to mid kilometers and wasn't able to get it back, even with a push at the end.
What would you do differently?:

Monitor my kilometer lap times better so I know where I stand.
Post race
Warm down:

Had half an orange, a banana, some water, and walked home, about 10 minutes.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training mostly. Although trained for shorter distances, probably wasn't fully ready or trained for 6.2 miles.

Event comments:

Great group of races, not least of which because the starting line is within five minutes of our place in StM. Can't beat that.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had weight issues. I remember standing on the scale as a child weighing 60 pounds and feeling fat. My family dealt with stress by eating.
