Pre-race routine:

Being in D.C. and driving up with my Army friend, we didn't have much of a pre-race routine. I just ate a couple pieces of toast, drank some water and off we went for an hour drive north to the Pentagon.
Event warmup:

Walked from our car to the Pentagon. LOL Jogged a little bit from the porto-johns to the starting line. :)

Event comments:

Absolutely loved it, but I might be a little bias with the fact that I'm not a serious racer and I'm an Army veteran. Just being in D.C. surrounded by national pride did it for me. I do wish they had had better post racing food and drink (recovery drink would have been nice!) but other than that, they were organized and awesome. The finisher coins were a little on the cheap side when you compare it to the Air Force Half Marathon medals, but coins are an Army thing and I love mine.

Performance: Average
Course: The course was a-maz-ing! Beginning and ending at the Pentagon having passed scenery like Watergate, the Lincoln and Washington Monuments, the National Mall, the U.S. Capitol...it was overwhelming at times being there and running with so many Army/military people. (The male eye candy wasn't too bad either!) The atmosphere alone was enough for me...I can't wait to do it again...and faster next time!
