Pre-race routine:

Got up @ 3:30 after only 3 hrs of sleep -- I need to remember I can't digest soy -- what a tummyache all night! Drank coffee on the way to the race, set up transition, worked packet pickup and drank a bottle of sports drink, waited in line for too long for the porto potty.
Event warmup:

Jogged with Jana

Started out too fast for me, but I wanted to hang with the leaders as long as possible. Haven't been running until last week due to foot injury.

Had some homemade goo on the run. Twice I took 2 cups of water, one for my head, one to drink.
What would you do differently?:

Have a bottle of water in transition to carry on the run.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and chatted and cheered and tried to cool down with ice, water, soda.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heat, not much running lately, still need to drop 15#.

Event comments:

Really pushed myself hard on this and paid for it the rest of the day. Guess that's why I only race once a month. Glad I did it. Racing Underground is great!
