Event warmup:

Jogged around the parking lot a bit before lining up. Did not cross the starting line until 7 minutes after the gun, so also got some walking in there as well.

Comments:

Whole course was nice, with the exception of Atlantic blvd after the 10k mark. The road is so canted that my knees started screaming at me pretty much as soon as we turned onto it headed for the Hart. It's a landmark part of the course, though, and I should have prepared better (stretched and strengthened).
What would you do differently?:

Stretch that right ITB that locked up on me at mile 7.5.
Post race
Warm down:

Hobbled to the massage table, then to my car....:)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

right knee locked up just before Hart bridge. Would have finished on pace - target was 12:00/miles- easily if I didn't have to walk most of the way up and down the bridge.

Event comments:

Atmosphere was great. The volunteers were outstanding: supportive and friendly despite the throng of runner/walkers packing the roads. This was my second 'A' goal of my 'comeback', and I'm glad I did it. I'll do better next year!
