Comments:

I think I managed my race pace well. Started race just fast enough and maintained a good pace to the finish line. Finished strong and had enough left for a short sprint to the finish line. Official race pace 7:40 per mi.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Warm down:

Should have done some coool down jogging, but didn't. Quickly put on a warmer jacket, hat and downed a Hammer Nutrition Recoverite; one full 20oz water bottle.

Event comments:

No timing chips. Saturday's race results posted on-line on Tuesday, 4/17.
