Pre-race routine:

Registered the day before. Left house a little after 7:30. Parked on pier. Walked over to start area. Used porta-potty (unusually short line) and then hung out under a tree until it was time to head for the start line.

Event warmup:

None because I wasn't expecting to be very fast so I figured the first mile could be my warm-up.

Comments:

I think this course might be a smidgen short. My splits don't seem to make sense. I just tried to keep up the pace as best I could.

What would you do differently?:

Might not be a bad idea to carry water. There are quite a few water stops, but it always seems to be hot for this race!

Post race

Warm down:

Got water, walked a little, stretched, refilled water and headed for car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training, heat

Event comments:

I enjoy this race. It's always hot and always starts ~ 5 min late, but it's fun.
