Comments: Went out fast. Much faster than I expected (7:15 miles for first few) but didn't fall off my pace too much. I was anticipating a little under 8 min. miles for this race so am very excited by the outcome! This race was soooooo cold! I was fine with it until the last 3 or so miles over the intracoastal where the wind was blowing very hard. What would you do differently?: Make sure to pray harder to the Weather Gods for a warmer day.. :-) Post race
Warm down: Never thought I'd be colder at the finish than I was at the start. Got my warm clothes and tried to get feeling back in my hands. Did some stretching and got some soup and coffee mostly to hold to get my hands warm. What limited your ability to perform faster: Maybe the cold? Not sure it limited me or made me faster. I didn't feel any problems from stomach flu. Overall, I am very happy!!! Event comments: Wonderful time!!! The support this race received from the community makes it very special.

Caught a stomach flu 2 days before. Spent the whole day in bed and throwing up. Was really concerned about hydration and nutrition catch up the day before but seemed to pull it together. Drank lots of Gatorade (something I don't normally drink) and some spaghetti and veggies for early dinner. Half banana and coffee in AM. Woke up a little later than expected but made it to race on time.
Did a short run (~1 mile) run and some stretching.
