Comments: Started race five minutes after gun start, which meant that I was passing other runners the entire way. Start was fairly wide open, but later on there were some spots where trying to get around other people slowed me down. Legs were great during the entire race, the only problem holding me back was some GI pain starting at mile 3 and continuing through the race. Most of mile 5 was uphill, so my pace went down, and when we started downhill during mile 6 I tried picking up the pace and really felt like puking. I slowed down just a tad, but basically just pushed through. What would you do differently?: Figure out where the GI issues came from and fix them...  Post race
Warm down: Walked around and stretched What limited your ability to perform faster: GI issues, crowded course Event comments: I guess I've been spoiled at other races, but this year all I got at the end were a couple of orange quarters and a bit of banana. Went to Mi Amigo's expecting a breakfast burrito like last year, but they gave out $5.00 coupons instead. Couldn't find where they were giving out bottled water, but I still had some in the bottle I carried. On the other hand, it only cost $18 to register for this race, so you can't expect much...

Whole grain bread and peanut butter at 5:30 a.m., then because it was a late start race (9:00 a.m. start), a Larabar at 7:30.
10 minutes light running about 30 minutes before start. Got in bathroom line, was still in line when gun went off. Got to the start about 5 minutes after the gun start (there were MANY athletes still starting at the same time as me).
