Pre-race routine:

woke up late 4:40, cup of coffee, banana, blueberry muffin 1/2 liter of water (last minute Hydration) was hoping the coffee would get some things Moving!!! but it didn't Joe picked me up at 5:30 and off to the races
Event warmup:

ran over to the porta potties again hoping the coffee and the short jog would get something moving but again nothing... Whats going on, no pre race movement???? Stretched a bit extra due to the fact that a week ago I was wearing a boot for achilles tendonitis and probably shouldn't be at the starting line. Had a great pace Pre-boot but hadn't run in a month and a change.. again what am I thinking. But lets see what happens

Comments:

With the amount of training and lack of preperation that went into the race from my part was SUB- par. I'm not only happy I finished but happy I'm alive and can walk
What would you do differently?:

In the future coming off an injury that could have gotten much worse by running I would have volunteered and cheered everyone on
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around aimlessly for a bit, ate like a pig then a good amount of stretching

What limited your ability to perform faster:
