Comments:

Run went pretty well for me. I'm really slow and let myself get discouraged. It is the hardest discipline for me. I ran the first mile in 11:25, which is great for me.....but I had trouble maintaining that for the remaining amount of the race. I need to push myself harder before walking. I especially tend to walk up inclines, though perhaps I walk faster than I would run it! This was a personal best for me so I should be happy that I continue to improve in times and am definitely in better shape than a year ago!
What would you do differently?:

Train more, not discouraged.
Post race
Warm down:

Drank several bottles of water and walked around with husband after race. Had a banana, small sandwich and brownie.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mental Confidence.

Event comments:

I liked the race, it was well run and you get a nice long sleeve t-shirt and bag for participating. It was also nice to have a local race to compete in....I didn't have to wake up to early for a change!
