Pre-race routine:

Didn't really have a pre-race routine because it was after work. So I ventured down to the race with my coworkers, we socialized, stretched a bit and took a group photo. I ate two bananas and drank some water after the pic.

Comments:

This race was WAAYYY too crowded and too many non-runners were in front of me so getting up to speed was tough. I was picking my way through the crowd for the first mile. After the aid station at 1 mile the crowd thinned out and I was able to get up to speed. I know I would have run faster had it not been for the crowd.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. This isn't a serious race, more of a three-mile fun run.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

The crowd at the beginning

Event comments:

For what it is, this is a good race. It's a race to get those who don't normally run to get out, train and finish the race. If you're looking for a serious time, stay away from this one.

I left my dang HRM at home!
Course: It was through downtown Atlanta, mostly on the Georgia State campus. The course was pretty hilly. I don't think there was a single flat spot on the entire course, you were either going uphill or down.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
