Not injure myself on a brick workout 2 days before the race...

Did really well the 1st 3 miles and then the wheels came off. If I hadn't injured my feet so bad a couple of days earlier I would've done way better on the run and overall! Oh well! I am still happy for a 1st half. I wanted 5:15 and I beat that so I'm stoked! :)
What would you do differently?:

Not get injured...
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing really...

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Getting the toes injured 2 days before the race...
