Comments:

Ran 10 min/walk 30 s - 1 min for most of the race. Tried to keep pace up. Worked on sticking behind another woman who looked strong. Was only passed by men.. nice feeling!
What would you do differently?:

Get to the race earlier and warm up! Forgot to down a gel before hand.. left it in my bag and checked my bag.

Should get closer to the front of the start next time. Ended up weaving through too many people.

Warm down:

Stretching for 20 min. Would have liked to do more, but husband's band was playing and my kids were demanding my attention.

Nice work, despite the hectic start....

 

It must have felt good when you just forgot about everything and just started to run.
