Comments: It was a good race. A personal best for me. I kept the legs turning over fast especially up the hills. The first two hills were in the first mile. That 6:25 that I ran for the first mile would have probably been low 6's if it was flat. I was hurting by the end of the 1st loop of the course. Tried to keep cadence around 90 and shorten the stride when I got tired. The strangest thing that happened to me was that I got extremely winded and couldn't get breath back throughout the whole race. At the end of the race, I just couldn't breathe. What would you do differently?: Must go slow on that first mile. I don't have the capability to maintain that fast a pace for 3 miles. I could feel my form abandoning me as I grew more and more tired. Need to keep focus  Post race
Warm down: Sat down and got breath back with Nick. Found some hot chocolate and some bread/bagels. Ran into Sue and her husband post race. Talked Myrtle Beach Half for a bit before heading on to see Fred one last time. What limited your ability to perform faster: Pacing. Need to do a better job at pacing myself. Event comments: Good race. Had a good time. Learned a lesson about pacing myself correctly. Last updated: 2005-11-21 12:00 AM

Some yogurt in the morning and downed a gatorade on the way there. Nothing too much since its a 5k. Nick, my oldest boy, joined me as a spectator. We enjoyed the 1.5 mile dog jog that took place right before the 5k. Went over to see Fred at packet pickup and chatted for a bit. He clued me into the finer points of the course since he runs this quite a bit in training.
Walked a couple of the hills with Nick, then left Nick near the start and ran about a 1/2 mile of the course backwards.
