Comments:

I had a tough week of training so I went into this race as a training day. My goal was to hold close to 8:00/mile and stay relaxed. I hit my goal but my legs had no strength at all. Every little rise in the course was brutal.
What would you do differently?:

Not much, I wasn't trying to PR but I did pretty well for me.
Post race
Warm down:

Beer

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Tough training the week before.

Nice work Matt!!  It's always to put one of these races in near the end of a serious training block - then you get a little heat...

Well done
