Comments:

I was very nervous as this was my first race. Especially since the weather was pretty bad. All I could see around me were experienced runners and I thought for sure that I would come in last. In the begining of the race I panicked and had a hard time breathing, but after I set my pace I was just fine (also after people stopped passing me). I was also happy to meet my goal of not walking during the race and hope that next time I can set a time goal.
What would you do differently?:

I might start out a little further back in the pack, however it did give me a bit of a motivation to run faster.

WOOHOO! Way to go! And look at you ... already planning the next one! I think it's very cool that you did the cancer walk afterwards, too!

Great start on your racing career!
