Comments:

I was determined to follow the "run 10 miles, race 5k" rule after several painful half marathons. So, overall it went well! I started too far back in the field, and the first four miles were a MESS, hence the quick mile 5 when no one was in my way.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing - I think I ran a pretty smart race, overall.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked a couple of blocks and had a couple of cups of gatorade and a bottole of water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

training.

Event comments:

Great race - a fun morning and close to home!
