Comments:

The day was pretty humid, which I am not quite used to yet. The start was very crowded and I had a hard time passing for much of the first half mile. Miles 3 & 4 were especially hard on me for some reason and I ended up walking through 2 water stops during the race. I finally caught my legs on the last mile. Last split was 7:30.

Overall, this was not one of my better races. This is a full 90 seconds slower than 3 weeks ago. I had plently left in the tank at the end and left too much on the course. Overall, my mental effort was not great.
What would you do differently?:

Go out harder and trust my pacing.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk around. Drink water and talk to me friends.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of full effort.

Event comments:

Overall, great course and fun race. Next time I will push harder. Thanks to all the volunteers!

Tony, a good effort on a rather humid day. It was a hard race because we haven't had too much himidity like that this year. I also heard a lot of the mile markers were way off. Congrats on a good race. Have a great weekend.
