Since I did not eat enough before the race and had been sick the following night I felt like I was going to puke during the entire run. I slowed down to keep myself from doing so.
What would you do differently?:

Eat more breakfast and not get sick the night before.
Post race
Warm down:

Ate grapes, drank gatorade and water and ate a chicken salad sandwich.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Losing a month and a half of training the month before hand due to illness and getting sick the night before the race.

Event comments:

I love this race, it is small, well organized and fun.
