Comments:

It was a fun time, no pressure. The mass start was a bit difficult to navigate through. I almost ran into a parked car when trying to pass through the crowd. After about a 1/4 mile of shuffling things started to open up. Condidering the logjam start and just getting back to running after being out for surgery it was a pretty decent time for me.
What would you do differently?:

Push up towards the front in the start line.
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed some water then walked back to the registration area for some post race grub.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Being inactive for 8 weeks during surgery/recovery.
