Pre-race routine:

Got to sleep in a bit since the race didn't start until 9:30a. Got there in plenty of time and registered.
Event warmup:

Jogged around the parking lot. Very cold wind, so alternating between warming up and warming up my body inside.

Comments:

Figuring out what to wear was a challenge, I felt really cold ahead of time, but warmed up more than I anticipated around mile 2.5.
What would you do differently?:

Break 1 hour :) Not much else, this was kind of an afterthought race/last huzzah of a good first season. More cold-weather running would probably help me know what to wear.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around the parking lot, noshed on banana. Stretched.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Still a little fatigued from the HM last week. Otherwise, more running.

Event comments:

Fun, lots of prizes, money went to a good cause, plenty of things for kids to do. I was really impressed, the female winner for the 5k race was just 13 years old! I was really impressed. If you'd like a small race with chip timing, this is a good one for the price.
