Pre-race routine:

Got up at 5 AM and had a piece of peanut butter toast and drove an hour to the event.
Event warmup:

Because traffic was so heavy, I was not able to warm up much. Plus, it was kind of chilly so a quick jog was all I was able to fit in prior to the start

Comments:

This was a killer course that was very very challenging. It rained the entire time, which saturated my shoes and socks. My goal was to get under 1:30, but I think the added weight slowed me down.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

I am coming off of an unknown injury to my leg that is actually still bothering me. I probably should not have run this, but I didn't want to waste my entry fee, so I took the week prior to this from running. I think that may have affected my conditioning. It was very disheartening ot start off strong, only to keep getting passed by other runners. I am used to it the other way around.

Event comments:

I would definitely do it again.
