Run
Comments: Good race. Having the Girl Scouts out was great. There were plenty of them at the water stops and they were all enthusiastic. What would you do differently?: Go out harder. I decided to keep my heart rate around 172 or so. I figured that would allow me to finish solid without fading. It turns out it was too easy, though. I was able to really crank out the last two laps and I probably left quite a bit in the tank. If I had shot for 175 or 176, I probably could have dropped 10 seconds from my splits and finished over a mihnute quicker. It still felt good, though. Post race
Warm down: Walked around, had water, Powerade, and a Cliff bar. Stretched a little bit. What limited your ability to perform faster: Pacing. Event comments: Tough race with the big hill right in the middle plus some other testers thrown in over miles 6 and 7. The last 2 are pretty much downhill, though, so it lets you finish strong.

Got up just over 1 hour before race time. Had 2 gels, a pop tart, and about 20 oz. of Gatorade.
Short warm up run, followed by crossovers, etc, then stretching.
