Pre-race routine:

Pre race was spent rushing to get to the site on time for my wife's 5K an hour before my 10K. It was close we had to drop my wife off then go park the car, but she made it, and she ran a PB 5K to boot.
Event warmup:

Just did some casual jogging, and finished a quick cup of coffee, met other BTers, and watched my kids while we waited for my wife to return from the 5K

Comments:

This was my first 10K and my only goal was to finish under 60 min, so I feel great about the run. Managed to keep my pace, never really felt tired, in fact felt so good after the race that I went home and took the dog out for a quick 2 mile run when we got home.
What would you do differently?:

Absolutly nothing, I had no idea about food, etc. I usually don't eat before a 5K, but today I ate a couple pieces of toast and peanut butter, guess that was just right. The only thing I would change would be to hit the portpotty a little closer to the start time, I was really looking for a restroom after I crossed the finishline.
Post race
Warm down:

Hung out for a while, waited for official results, that I have yet to see, the time I posted was from my watch, apparently there was a snafu with the program so I don't know what my official time was.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I thought too much about pacing myself and still ahd some left at the end, could have gone a little harder

Event comments:

I had a super time and this race will go on my must do list for next year.
