Pre-race routine:

Walking, then some lady did a "warm-up" on stage that I followed along with. Some streching

Comments:

my foot and shin started to ache... hope I am not getting shin splints or something. Wasn't bad enough to stop, but slowed me down a bit twords the end.
What would you do differently?:

Try to get closer to the front of the start so I don't have to do soo much weaving. I really thought the fast people would be up front so I tried to stay out of their way... guess I was wrong
Post race
Warm down:

walked around looking at all the stuff they had, picked up some goodies for the kids, did some streching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

maybe the time between getting to the start and the actual start. Kind of defeated any warm up

Event comments:

Fun race to do for a great cause!
