Comments:

this was not a race for me - just a training run. shooting for sub 10 minute miles. made sub 9's without pushing. last two miles might have been my fastest. very encouraging training run.
What would you do differently?:

excellent first race of the season
Post race
Warm down:

about a mile to the top of the park for festivities.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

at this point in my training this was as fast as I wanted to go.

Event comments:

a few more water stations. few vendors compared to my triathlons. absolutely beautiful course.
