Comments:

I felt good pushing the jogging stroller. I ran most of the way except for about 4 minutes during which I walked.
What would you do differently?:

Not walk at all.
Post race
Warm down:

Got a bottle of water and sat on the grass to watch the 10k racers come in. Jadyn played with some kids and cheered on racers.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Pushing the jogging stroller was a challenge, but it rolls really easily and it's pretty light. Not having my arms free was a little limiting, but I got used to it pretty quickly.

Event comments:

I dont' have my final time, but when I came in to the gates the clock said 35 minutes (can't remember the seconds). I'll update as soon as I get the final time.

It was a really enjoyable race. Not too many people either which was great. Really laid back and lots of fun! I will do this race again next year. It was the 2nd annual race, so I am sure it will just get better every year. Unfortunately, that means it will become more crowded - I'm not a huge fan of crowds.
