Pre-race routine:

Had half of a cliff bar and some sips of gatoraid. Woke up 1 1/2 hours before the race and arrived 30 mins before.
Event warmup:

Some jogging with some quick sprints to get my heart rate about 160 quickly and back down. Waited in the corral for 10+ mins, so I would be nearish to the front.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing really... i trained well for the race and even though I was a minute off of my goal time I felt like it was the best I could do that day. Happy with the race

Event comments:

Very nice race, and it was obviously well run. My only problem with it was they said they would have some sort of GU/energy gel atleast once during the Half and there was nothing. When ypu keep thinking that the next aid station will have gels and they don't it gets a bit discouraging. If I had known I would have brought me own.
