Took a lap around the soccer field, stretched.

Comments:

Not too bad, considering how inflamed most of my right leg is. I wasn't thrilled with my time, but I don't think it was that bad considering this is the first non-flat course I've run and I'm injured. And at least I beat my mother.
What would you do differently?:

I think I'd start out faster. My first two miles were in about 19:30. That's terrible. But I was also afraid of injuring myself if I pushed too hard.

Honestly, though, I'm ok with it. I really wanted to concentrate on the 8K I want to run on Thursday (injuries permitting), so I wasn't trying to kill myself on this one.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around. Did not win raffles.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The inflammation running from my right arch, up through my knee and as far as my IT band :P

Event comments:

It was a very small race - there wasn't much going on. However it was also supposed to be run a week ago - it had been cancelled due to flooding. That probably has something to do with the dearth of post-race festivities.
