Pre-race routine:

A little frantic walking in the rain to the race site where I learned that someone else accidentally claimed my bib/chip. Luckily for me, I ran faster than "the other Sunessa" with my new bib/chip.
Event warmup:

None to speak of since it was icky, rainy, and crowded.

Comments:

I was happy to see my split times dropping as I kept running
What would you do differently?:

More mental work on quick foot strikes mid-race since that's when I usually slow-down. Everything else went really well, perfect!
Post race
Warm down:

I got chilly quickly once I stopped running. Going for pizza and pedicure was a brilliant idea from my running buddy, Rosanna. Nothing like bubbly warm water and a foot massage plus pretty painted toes to make me feel incredible good and girly! ;-)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I felt that I did my very best, and that's good enough.

Event comments:

It only would've been better if I could've met up with the other BTers, but we'll have to do that another time.
