very peaceful race, very few spectators but also very uncrowded course, much different from rock and roll last month, very pretty stretch along river

nothing, I ran a very even pace and got a PR
Post race
Warm down:

water, stretching, watched a few friends win AG awards

What limited your ability to perform faster:

nothing, I'm still slow but I got a PR by over 5 minutes, ran just the pace I was planning

Event comments:

this is a very small race, no exceptional swag, no medals, just a very nice course, good for PR's due to lack of course crowding, I will do this race again next year

Congrats on the PR Sue! You are getting fast! The weather was perfect and I agree that this is the type of race perfect for a PR. Unfortunately, I had to skip the race due to the change in start time (see my blog).

You are going to do great at the Marine Corps!
