Pre-race routine:

worked Overnight. Started drinking Gatorade about 4 or 5 a.m. Ate Cliff Bar at 6 a.m. Did get off of work 15 minutes later than I wanted. Sped from work to Odell (passed the Van Winkles along the way). Arrived at about 7:40 a.m. Changed, put my race number on, said a quick 'Hello' to family and friends, and then stretched a bit. Most of this is not my routine.
Event warmup:

Stretched a bit, but not nearly as much as I would've liked.

Comments:

I got to hot during the run and didn't drink enough. Next time, I'll wear my tank and bring my hydration belt. Listened to Tourniquet most of the way. Decided to kick it over to Bride on the way back (Good Move). Close to the finish chute, my wife and kids ran part of the way. That was fun. Set a 10K PR. Excited about that.
What would you do differently?:

Not work overnight beforehand. Also, wear just my tank top and bring my hydration belt.
Post race
Warm down:

Talked with family and friends. Also talked with Sean (????) about IMKS.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Working overnights.

Event comments:

Plan on doing this race again next year. I don't think I was in the right frame of mind to race (even though I set a PR).

Performance: Good
Course: Course had some nice hills and nice scenery. Noticed a nice lake at about mile 2. Course did turn to gravel a bit before the 5K turnaround. Realized I slowed way down on the gravel. Once I got back to pavement, my speed kicked back up again.
