Pre-race routine:

Found a port-a-pot and took care of that issue...then went for a warm-up run with my buddy.

Comments:

Really great atmosphere! I started out too slow...not having my watch hurt my initial pace. I was planning to run right around 7:00 minute pace, but ran over 7:30 for the first mile... Weaving in and out of all the folks who seeded themselves much faster than their capabilities was very frustrating...
What would you do differently?:

Remember the Garmin watch.
Post race
Warm down:

Jogged about ten minutes and then found my family/friends

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training for IMLP, Genetics

Event comments:

Huge post-race party, lots of volunteers...this race is one of the best in the business!
