Pre-race routine:

I live about 1/2 mile from the start so I woke up threw on my clothes and walked to Starbucks. I had my coffee and watched the wheelers go off. Those guys can fly. After that I started making my way to the start.
Event warmup:

Nothing really. Some light stretching.

Comments:

I got to the very front of my starting wave. For the first mile I was out in front of almost everyone in the wave so running down an empty Peachtree Rd was pretty cool. Once I caught the wave in front the weaving began. I wanted to have a pretty fast first 5K b/c it was mostly downhill. I passed the BT cheering section and could hear the, but I was on the wrong side of the street after running passed my dad. I took it kinda easy up cardiac hill, then picked it up again. Overall I think I had a pretty good run. A pretty steady pace throughout the race.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really. Had a good run and just had fun.
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed my tshirt some water and a really good peach and then made my way back to MARTA.

Event comments:

This was my first PRR and I have to say for having that many people, it was a very organized and well run event. I had a great time.
