Comments:

I felt great running, decided last minute to bag the tights and run in shorts. It was a beautiful day for a race. Course had a lot of turns and was poorly marked, the person finishing in front of me cut the last few hundred meters from the course. Apparently he didnt realize that a line of cones meant "dont' go that way".
What would you do differently?:

Better starting position, got a little bottled up at the start.
Post race
Warm down:

Cool down jog, took in fluids and stretching. Ran the course backwards to cheer on other racers.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just my training, just got back into runing from the injury. Still need some base work and definetly need speed work to increase leg turn over.

Event comments:

Could have had better course markings and mile marks. Seeme disorganized, but it all worked out.
