Comments:

My goal was to PR which was 22:15 but really wanted sub 22:00. This was a small race so I knew I had a decent chance to place but PR was all I really cared about. Also, there was a whole X-country team racing and I wanted to beat at least 1 of them.

Started off alittle too quick as usually on the first lap. Only passed a few people at the beginning and every one found a grove. At the beginning of the 2nd lap I caught 2 people including a xcountry runner (probably 12 and female but I caught one). No more passing or being passed. Was never passed the whole race. Near the end someonee messed up and ran on the service road to I35 and found out later this was a mistake. My actual race time was around 22:20 but I am using my garmin time as my race time since they messed the course up.
What would you do differently?:

Start off a little slower.

Warm down:

My son decide to build a basketball hoop at the lowes display so no warm-down

Event comments:

The RD asked me after what to do different and I really could not think of anything except chips but looking back I realized there was no water on the course. Plus I don't know yet if they are going to post results or not.
