Pre-race routine:

Arrived early to make sure I got parked and had time to drop off my bag. It was cold so I spent a little time indoors waiting. I waited a bit too long since when I left I dropped off my bag and the lines for the port-o-lets were too long. I didn't get to use the bathrooms before the race. I will have to time that better next time.
Event warmup:

None. A warm up would have been a waste as we waited over 20 minutes in the corrals.

Ran as planned. I planned to run just under 7:30 for the first 8 miles and then kick it up.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.
Post race
Warm down:

Light stretching. Kept moving for a few minutes to keep the knees from tightening up.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Run base. Only 1 year of training under the belt. I am definitely looking forward to breaking the 1:30 mark.

Event comments:

Well run with lots of volunteers.
