Run
Comments: Started in the back corral with my wife, just to keep her company until the start. Took 4:23 to get to the start mat, not a big deal but the traffic was bad the first 1.5 mile then it opened up some. Pushed it pretty hard when able and made up for some of the lost time.

Warm down: Cooled down with a water bottle and a banana then walked up and down the finish zone watching for my wife to finish. What limited your ability to perform faster: Personal choices Event comments: The race medals are cool! Includes a red ribbon to use as a Christmas ornament, pretty neat!

Normal wake-up routine... knew we would be at least an hour and a half before race so I ate breakfast, bowl of Wheaties w/ soy milk. 20 min drive to event.
Race was scheduled to start at 0830 but got delayed 15 min, not a big deal it allowed it to warm up a bit more.
Warmed up with the usual cold race day routine: bouncing around and rubbing my hands together :-)... Some light stretching to stay loose.
