Comments:

Perfect run except for difficulty passing the lines of socializing joggers in the 1st 2km. I skipped most of the water stations but did not suffer.
What would you do differently?:

start closer to the front
Post race
Warm down:

jogged back to car the long way around 3.3k

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I might have been under 47min if I could have properly established my pace in the 1st 2km.

Event comments:

Fantastic race tech shirts with race number printed on front and nice piping (real keepers).
