Pre-race routine:

Not much of a warm up....just rushing up and down Michigan Ave trying to find my sister and her friends. Stretched a little and went at it.
Event warmup:

None....but I should have!

Comments:

My sister's pace is a little too quick for me...even when she's pushing my nephew! I laid back for the first 2 miles, but was able to pick it up and finish the race strong (for me).
What would you do differently?:

I still have a long way to go for where I want to be at the start of the tri season...the run is my LEAST favorite of the 3 diciplines. But, if felt good for the final 2 miles and that was encouraging.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched, took some photo's with my group and made our way to the bar!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I really need to warm up...run half a mile or something to get the blood flowing and the legs moving. The first 1.5 miles sucked, but I felt good for the rest of the race.
