Pre-race routine:

Wasn't psyched when I woke up like I normally am. Had trouble getting out of bed. Hit the snooze x2
Event warmup:

No time to warm up. Sign up lines were unbelievably slow and annoying. But that's what I get for always signing up the day of the event. Didn't even have a chance to stretch.

It was already getting HOT on the run. Definitely felt some efftects of the heat. Just couldn't muster the speed I thought I had. I have been on vacation/working/&sick the last month, so my fitness went from Very good to very blah.

Event comments:

Overall decent event. Tough course considering the short distance. Check in was WAY to slow. But hey they're volunteers. Did Ok in my age group, I guess, but disappointed that I've lost my high fitness from 1 month ago. On the bright side my legs (achilles) have been 100% healthy since putting in heel lifts a while back (1 year? not sure).
