Run
Comments: Fun morning. I felt great. Taking two days off beforehand made me fresh and ready to run. I was very pleased with this effort. What would you do differently?: Not much, just ditch the long sleeve shirt at the start. I lost about 30 seconds taking it off and tying it around my waist. Post race
Warm down: Ha! I swam 5000 yards @ the C.R. Rec Center. What limited your ability to perform faster: Too many idiots at the start, and the shirt issue. Event comments: Still one of my favorite events. This is the 3rd year I've done this race, I'll be back next year for sure! Last updated: 2010-04-21 12:00 AM

Met Kate @ the Castle Rock Starbucks @ 7:30. Quad espresso, a protein shake, and a V8. Talked about a lot of stuff on the drive up to Denver, I always enjoy hanging with Kate. I was not mentally prepared for this race, so it was nice to talk a little shop on the drive up. I can't find my Garmin, and I didn't prepare an I-tunes playlist for this.
Stretched a lot. Glutes were tight as can be. I felt pretty loose by the time we were ready to start. We tried to seed ourselves in the 9:00-10:00 group, but the race was PACKED! You could barely move. We ended up near the back, somewhere in between the 10 minute mile group.
