Pre-race routine:

Left the family at home to sleep in. Had a work BBQ last night. Work up and rolled to the race. Parking was easier than I thought

Comments:

Had the gouge from training - relaxed as much as I could on hills for the first 5 miles and then gradually increased. Mile7-8 really hurt for some reason probably because there was a group of about 8 of us and we really started racing
What would you do differently?:

Get more run volume and take a rest day. I probably spent 30-45 seconds on the run yesterday and the high volume day on Thursday.
Post race
Warm down:

Ran for 15 minutes post massage!!! I love the good massages.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of long run volume

Event comments:

This is a must do race for everyone. This year the Kenyans came out and smoked the course. Most fun I've had a running race in a really long time
