Pre-race routine:

Stayed in Louisville the night before and got up around 4. Took my time getting ready and all my gear together. Had a cup of coffee, half a muffin and a banana for breakfast. Left for the start at about 5:45 and got there right after 6:00. We were able to park right at the start.
Event warmup:

Jogged easy around the shopping complex a few times. Legs felt good. Did some stretching while waiting for my wave to start.

Comments:

Run went well, but looking back I would have made myself go faster. I was a little dissapointed with my time because it was almost 2:00 slower than last year's time. I think it was mental....I just didn't want to think that I could go faster. Now, though, looking back at my splits and heartrates, think that I really could have. I was too comfortable and could have pushed harder. Oh well.
What would you do differently?:

Everything I previously said.....
Post race
Warm down:

Walking though the goody bag area and around the expo. We had to walk about a mile or so back to the car that was parked at the start line. Felt pretty good to walk it out a bit though.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My mind

Event comments:

While Dave was waiting for me to finish, he and Jake got to meet Crissy Wellington. LUCKY!!! She even signed his little snack bag. Needless to say, I am very jealous!
