Comments:

Good run.Knew the course like the back of my hand. I seeded myself to far back so had to work my way thru folks as I went. Very very crowded race. Like running thru rush hour in the city. First mile was 10 m/m, 2nd was 9:30 then got better. Very, very humid too. just drenching!! Luckily it has been this way for a while so I am getting used to it.
10k time was 53 min. so the final mile was about 7 m/m.
What would you do differently?:

seed further to the mid pack.
Post race
Warm down:

Grab some grub and rest and stretch.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

heat, humidity, lots of people

Event comments:

very well organized premier internationally known race. Many elite runners, lots of Kenyans, and they are FAST!! Organization is great, entertainment through the pre-race was great. Highly recommend the race, but if you do it, do it for the experience and not to do a PR.

Nice run Glen.  It's tough to break an hour there with the crowds packed in like that.  Was the guy out with the garden hose at the 5 mile mark?  Woulda been nice on a humid day like yesterday.

Glen, particularly great run.  If you started with a 10min mile and finished with an 8:21 average, you really must have kicked it up those last few miles.
