Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 6 and ate 3/4 of a bagel, drank some water, and got my stuff all ready to go. Left at 6:45 and arrived around 7. Used the bathroom and chatted with friends until the race start.
Event warmup:

Stretched a bit, otherwise not too much of a warmup.

Comments:

My times show that I obviously went out WAY to fast and crashed around mile 5, so I need to start a bit slower. My heart rate just got way too high and no matter how much I walked I couldn't get it back down to a comfortable pace.
What would you do differently?:

Pace myself better by starting out slow so that I can set myself up for a negative split and feel better throughout the second half of the run.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk around and stretch my tight calves. Ate half a banana and drank some water.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Poor aerobic base, I need to run at a comfortable heart rate for the entire race and train to be able to do that.

Event comments:

It was a very fun and friendly race environment and I enjoyed it despite how difficult it was for me.

Course: Not too hilly with some nice long flat segments. There were a lot of families/kids in front of their houses handing out water and spraying hoses, which was nice. I could always get water whenever I needed it without having to wait for the next station.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
