Had a hrad time drafting... still haven't gotten that down. The visibility was poor and I never really got behind someone who I could draft off of. Also, got off course a bit. I was trying to stay to the outside of the pack so that I didn't have to tangle with people and I ended up too far out.

They had just chipped a bit of the road so there was some not so good road conditions for part of the race. That was a bit irritating.

Comments:

Actually felt really good. Did not walk and even had a good pace going up the hills. I felt that my pace on this run was very good because it was so hilly. The downhills were a big help!!!
Post race
Warm down:

Took a short swim in the lake to cool down and then stretched like a crazy woman!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing... I was very pleased with my performance!

Event comments:

I really enjoyed myself and had a great day. I was bit emotional at the end because I had to really be mentally tough to finish strong. There was a slight hill at the end of the race and I had just made a great effort to pass someone so I felt tired. But, I kept saying "be a runner, be a runner" and that made me focus on good form and mental strength to get the job done. I was proud of myself for that.
