Comments:

Just really tough out there today. My gps was screwy so the times are course splits. Fast guys said the course was right. I guess I basically melted down in mile 3. 1:30 off my goal but last nights activities and the heat set me back pretty good.
What would you do differently?:

Stay home the night before the race
Post race
Warm down:

none

What limited your ability to perform faster:

common sense

Event comments:

I did get third in my age group so I will not complain.

Good first year race. Great barbeque after the race. No free beer but we were prepared in advance so that wasn't a problem.
