Comments:

Pushed hard-- the first mile I did in 7.34! The hills took a little wind out of my sails though. I really had to back off on the "bump" after mile two but saved enough to really keep it going on the last hill and sprinted downhill to the finish. Nausea much better but still just under the surface. Adrenaline was handled a little better.
What would you do differently?:

Not much-- not sure that easing into the run at first would have allowed me to post a PR!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My own fitness-- Considering that in 1 year of running I shaved almost 10 minutes off the same race, I'm pretty pleased. Next year I have a chance to place in my age group.

Event comments:

Any woman in the triad area needs to do this race every year unless they have another race that they regularly do on that day.
