Pre-race routine:

walk up at 4 am, showered got my gear and was out the door 15 min later. i arrived at the race much too early could have easily gotten 30 min extra sleep.

got to the race i couldn't belive how well organized it was, i got of the highway parked, and was at the race site by 4:45 am. none of my friends were even there yet and i had 1.5 hrs to kill.
Event warmup:

stretched really well.

Comments:

saw my friend before the race, he was going for a 1:30, in retrospect i should have started with the 1:30 group. my entire run was in z2. very low and very comfortable.

Event comments:

this is my first running race only have raced triathlons, but i will say that this was a well organized race. with 21k people this was just perfectly organized.

no parking problems, no delays, great route simply awesome. i almost wanted to skip it last minute.
