Comments:

Good race and I am very happy with the results. Time is a PR for 10k races. Started off really strong and ran first mile in 6:31. Slowed down a bit on the downhills and tried to run all the uphills strong but had to walk the crest of two hills. There was water stations at every mile and I was able to continue running while on the go which I was very pleased with. Goal for the race was under 47minutes and I am very pleased with the time I posted.
What would you do differently?:

Not to much, I would like to run the entire race next year but overall I am very happy with the run.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around a bit and got some Gatoraide and water and watched the bike finish and waited for my sister to finish.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not being fully trained for the hills. Need to contiune to work on that.

Event comments:

Very challenging race but alot of fun. Looking forward to next year.

Hey -- good run, and a nice result. I just did my first 10K in several years, and I forgot how much "fun" they are!

You've had a good year -- keep it up!
