Pre-race routine:

Not much really. Had a power bar at 7am and then a Gu about 15 min before the start. Mixed with some coffee and I was ready to go.
Event warmup:

We did about a 14 minute warm up. It was needed. The wind was really making me cold and my legs felt stiff because of it. We left about 10 minutes to get up front at the start, and I cooled back down quickly.

Comments:

I was very steady on this run. I start off strong and kept my pace around 6:05/mi for the first half and then sped it up a little for the second half. I had no problem holding that pace, but I didn't feel like I had any more speed.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Go easier so I'd be fresher for the next day's race.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around, jogged to the car and that's about it.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Top end speed. I have the endurance to push, but I just don't have the speed that the faster guys have.

Event comments:

Really well organized and right on time. Course was well marked and blocked off.
