Comments:

I wanted to keep the run easy. I did not want to hurt myself by pushing it like I did last year. I ended the race just a bit sore and it was all in the legs - NO SHIN SPLINTS!!!

BTW - they had the race link thingy going. My g/f stayed in the car an copied my split times on the map as she waited. She is so sweet
What would you do differently?:

Train more before and begin earlier
Post race
Warm down:

got in the car and headed to get something to eat.

Course: Course was much the same as it was last year. The major good change this year was that they had the half marathoners running along a parallel road and did not merge the two together until two miles before the end. They also changed the finish line so that both races finished in the same spot; thereby reducing the confusion for what road to take.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
