Pre-race routine:

Got up at 6am. Got dressed, tried to eat a banana. Felt like I was going to puke. Drank some water. Got family up and around. Drove to Odell. Arrived at 7:10. Plenty of time to get packet and hang out as people came in.
Event warmup:

Went to stretch 10 minutes ahead of start time. Not nearly enough time to stretch the way I needed to. I'll need to start warm-up and stretches at least 1/2 an hour ahead of time.

Comments:

Felt like a did keep a good, solid pace, but still need to work on cardio. Achieved my goal of finishing in under 30 minutes. Jeff was a good cheerleader! (Thanks, buddy)
What would you do differently?:

Stretch better before hand. Have something light like toast or something. Also, I'll leave my underarmor at home. Wasn't comfortable and probably just made me hotter.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around a little bit. Grabbed a glass of orange pop and a banana.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Underarmor. Lack of stretching.

Event comments:

Didn't stay for the awards. I hated that, but had to help Rebecca's sister Mandi move. Had an awesome time involving the entire family in the race. Daniel ran the mile in 8:07, and Rebecca and Josh were just glad to finish the mile. Good times!

Performance: Good
Mile 1 was 9:28, mile 2 was 9:46, mile 3 was 10:30. Last mile I walked a couple of short segments.
Course: Took us south of town up a big hill. Jeff said it was just a little incline. Liar!!! Anyway, I felt good on the HILL even though I haven't run up a hill like that in years. Ran some on gravel. Didn't like that at all.
