Comments:

I ran this very well, even though I was suffering from a cold. Warmed up well, had a good clothing mix on (running shorts, long-sleeve T, and gloves). Started just a bit fast, at 3:25 for first 1/2 mile, then settled in to 7:25ish pace until the end kick. Took it easy on the uphills, lengthened stride on the downs and concentrated on good running form throughout.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Just a nice overall effort.

Warm down:

A little food, a little kibitzing, easy jog back to my car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Probably hit my potential very well.

Event comments:

Nice local race.
