Pre-race routine:

Got dressed at Equinox, walked all the way to the GATX/TTX tent which seemed like it was in Indiana. Got a couple potty breaks in! Drank some Vitamin Water.
Event warmup:

Little stretching, mostly just waiting around!

Comments:

WTF. Seemed like half the crowd in front of me was walking this thing. Why didn't they stay in back with the rest of the non-competitors? I thought my pace could have been much better if I wasn't weaving in and out of groups of non runners.
What would you do differently?:

Go to the front of the pace lines instead in back.
Post race
Warm down:

Ate a banana, drank some water and walked the long way back to the tent.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Walkers, walkers. I mean really, WTF. I have no problem with you walking the course, fine, but have some courtesy and stay behind the runners in the starting corral.

Event comments:

They really need to tell people that are walking with 20 of their friends to stay behind the RUNNERS in the starting corral.
