Comments:

Felt very good the first 4 miles. 5K in 28:01. Last 5K in 30:22 mostly due to fatigue, hills, and trying to get around people on the narrow bike trail.
What would you do differently?:

Run more often than 1-2 times every two weeks. I would have been happier with a time in the 56 minute range but that will come with more preparation and a little more work on speed. I think I can get under 9:00 minute miles with just a little more work.
Post race
Warm down:

Found hubby (he did the 5K) and my two buddies from work (Tom and Greg). Tom did a personal best at the 10K distance and finished just about a minute behind me.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Ummmm....actually working at running. Congestion on the bike trail. The trail was icy down the middle with almost no room to pass on the actual path.

Event comments:

Great race with awesome volunteers. Very organized for such a big race with a 5K run, 5K walk, and 10K run.
