Comments:

I feel I did a better job of keeping an even pace throughout the race this year. Last year, I blasted off and hit the first mile around 8:30. Way too fast for me. While my time increased from last year, I feel as though I actually ran a better race.
What would you do differently?:

I was actually very happy with the race I ran today. I think I'd work on opening up my stride more, but that's a general running comment and not particular to this race.

Warm down:

- cheered on some more runners
- walked around for 5-minutes
- stretched for 5-minutes

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing - I performed right around where I thought I would.

Event comments:

The mile markers were not that clearly marked out (in fact, there was no 3-mile marker). Other than that, it was a decently organized race with a good turn-out.

Also, it was great meeting Tim (1st Timer) and Matt (tri_sport19)!
