Pre-race routine:

The usual. Cereal and gatorade on the ride down.

Got there nice and early as opposed to last year. Parked in the Navy yard and got on the train pretty easily. The actual train ride was a fiasco with 3 people fainting. Still got off the train around 7:30.
Event warmup:

Did about a half mile jog. A few striders afterwards.

Comments:

Felt very good. Went out a bit fast and ran on the sidewalk for the first mile. Settled in and ran on the left side of the road pretty much by myself the rest of the race. Goal was 6:30/mi pace but felt good and held 6:22-6:23/mi.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Ran better than I thought I would and much better than last year.
Post race
Warm down:

None. Too much rain.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Quad/Hip pain a little, but nothing too bad.

Event comments:

One of my favorite races, if not my number one favorite. Tons of people, flat course, very well organized. I actually enjoy the train ride and all of the mayhem associated with it. I think it adds to the excitement of the race.
