Pre-race routine:

Had my bagel, with a hard-boiled egg, and coffee.

Got my goodie bag, and pretty much sat in my car til about 30 minutes before race, then got out and did some stretching. Had to walk to the starting line, about 15 minute walk, so a good warm up.

Comments:

I ran really good for myself. I ran the second half of the race faster than the first half. I found myself the first couple of miles running at a 8:30-8:40 m/m, but miles 8,9,and 10 I was running between 7:45-7:30 m/m. I finished really strong, and felt great for the whole race.

I really enjoyed the race. This was my first 10 mile race, so with my time, I can't complain. I'm really pleased.
