Comments:

Personal Best by a long shot. Great run! Wanted to go out at 9:15's, but started around 9:00's and held it. Actually performed pretty well on the hills, passing a lot of people going up (squats make the difference here).

Negative splits on second half of run. Left a lot of road kill behind me :)
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Very little walking. Found shelter to get out of the wind.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wind. Hills, but the down hills helped.

Event comments:

Great race for me. Also, lots of fun. The course wasn't the prettiest, but it was fun. I like running in the elements. Will do this again next year. Performance has me leaning strong towards a full marathon in March.
