Comments:

F-F-F-Freeeeeezing! It was 46 at the start of the race. I didn't even have enough gumption to job pre-race I was so cold. The course was flat and fast and well-organized. Mile markers every mile with timers and two water stops -- niiice.
What would you do differently?:

Wear warmer clothes pre-race.
Post race
Warm down:

Got two cups of water and waited for friends to cross the line.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Cold. A bit of abdominal cramping about mile 3.5-4. Got rid of it quickly by doing some breathing exercises.
