Comments:

I ran with my ipod for the first time in a race. I made some bad choices of songs. song 1 was too fast, song 2 was too long and slow, song 3 was fast, but I was done by then. I went out too fast and died at the end. splits were 7:13, 7:46, 8:03, :48. I should've done the opposite. Duh.
What would you do differently?:

I don't think I'll race with my ipod again. It was more of a hassle than it was worth. I would also start more moderately. And not drink 1 1/2 glasses of wine the night before a race.
Post race
Warm down:

stretched, chatted a bunch with Amy (momx3) and some other friendly folks. Ate 1/2 bagel w/ cream cheese and drank a water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My bad decisions

Event comments:

Good race. The prizes were a bit silly. I got a scarecrow bobblehead or something. The event itself was well run and it was a good course, but a little boring. I've been spoiled by tris where we run along the ocean :)
