Pre-race routine:

Pasta'd it up on Saturday night and rested. Shouldn't have played 2 softball games Friday night and then go out drinking on the Strip after... then wake up early and play 2 more games... Bad Idea!!
Event warmup:

Sat in traffic till I got to some back roads I know to find parking... just enough time to check my bag and get to my corral that had Cookie Monster, Elmo, and Big Bird in!!!

Comments:

Felt good the first 10 miles. Averaged about 7:45/mile... it started warming up and I had to take off my Brewers winter hat(which I got a few 'go brewers' comments on! gotta love my Wisconsin people!) then mile 11-13.1 the cramps started in the legs and my lower back was hurting... dropped down to 10:00/miles.
What would you do differently?:

Not play so much softball and drink so much the days before...
Post race
Warm down:

Sat and waited for everyone else to finish. Then waited for Bret Michaels and had a great time jamming out! Didn't think he would be as good as he was... Lots of fun!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

tiredness

Event comments:

The course was good, but I liked it better last year... too many turns at the north end of the Strip. But going all the way up to Freemont St. was kinda cool.
