Warm down:

Waited in the long flip-flop line and then had a banana and stretched. Said no the bbq, too early for that, and went to Starbucks instead.

Event comments:

Loved the course, LOTS of aid stations- very nice- and a great goodie bag. I will do this race again next year, for sure.

Performance: Good
Course: Mostly road, maybe a mile or two on a crushed gravel path. Most of time you were running back in the neighborhoods. Was one really good hill just before mile 9. Otherwise there were some decent inclines with nice down hills afterwords. Great course, really liked it.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
