Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 6:15. Had a banana and whole grain pop-tart. At 7, I had a protein shake with milk and a cup of coffee, then showered. Its raining today, so that stinks.
Event warmup:

Um, sat in car until race started? It was rainy. Drank some more coffee. Was pretty gittery to be on a (relatively) empty stomach drinking coffee.

Comments:

Kept it pretty easy today, since I was staying with my wife. My HR just after I finished was about 120, even after sprinting, so overall, pretty easy. Some really good hills in this one though; not too steep, but freaking long!
Right knee hurt a bit during the middle of the race, but I think that was due partially to the fact that we ran at least a mile on the side of a road which sloped down on each side, meaning we were running perpendicular to an uneven road. That was really annoying.
Post race
Warm down:

Ate some locally-made bread and doughnut holes!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Was staying with wife. She was in pain from a few things, so we ran a bit slower than we do in practice. But, I'm super proud of her for pushing through the pain--I could see on her face that she was in pain the whole time. Poor girl.

Event comments:

Good race, lots of stuff afterwords.
