Comments:

My goal was to still start off slow, but not as slow as last year and to keep a more constant pace and then tapering at the end. I did that for the most part, but again, it was difficult as teh mile markers were off.
What would you do differently?:

I could have possibly gone a little harder toward the end, but maybe a minute or two at the most. I ran pretty hard for this.

Warm down:

Prayed for life. Just kidding. I had leftover smoothie from my awesome wife, a banana, wlaked around and rehydrated.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My fat a$$. Just kidding. I have had limited speed work, so I am not up to max potential, but thsi was a good start to the season.

Event comments:

Great way to start, and running around ND is always fun.
