Pre-race routine:

Got up at 4am, took a shower, got dressed, and had a yogert and bannana. My wife then drove me to where the busses were downtown. She left me then I got on the bus. We got up to Eden where the 1/2 marathon started. Keep warm till start time. Then off we went
Event warmup:

No real warm up, when the race started, I started slow, then started to work on speeding up

Comments:

I was doing well until just before mile ten, where I sprain my left ankle. I was slowed down some. I had been doing a 4/1 run walk, until then. I was able to do a 1/1 run walk after that. Before that I was looking at maybe finishing a 2:20, but I made about what I expected.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. My biggest obstacle at this time is the excess weight I'm carrying. Get ride of it before September for the Disneyland 1/2 marathon and I will do great.
