Comments:

Really enjoyed the run, I think I could have put some more out during the race but I think that is always on your mind a few days after. I wanted to finish in under an hour and about halfway threw I began to talk myself into doing this in 55 mins. I finished in just under 55 so I was happy with that.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk and drink some water. Wanted to be at the finish line to see the rest of my family cross and I got to see them all.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Again I think my inexperiance level attributed as much as anything. I am learning how my body feels each mile. My heart rate and breathing are pretty consistant around a 9 to 10 min/mile pretty easy pace. Working on inproving that over the next few weeks.

Event comments:

Myself, my stepson, my brother and his wife ran
My wife, daughter and my Dad walked
I was able to see all of my family cross the finish line which was awsome, especially being there with my Dad at the end.

Performance: Good
Course: Really a mild course or maybe average I guess in difficulty. Kind of hilly the big downhill I think is the worst part of the race because you are off on more than one plain going downhill so it is rather hard on the knees. Slight up hill at the bottom of the big downhill. It seems oh so slight in a car but like a mountain with a mile left to go.
Keeping cool Average Drinking Just right
