Got up at 4:30. Had a bowl of oatmeal and two cups of coffee. My hubby and I drove down to the race start and got there about an hour before start time.

Other than jumping up and down a little to warm up while waiting in my corral, no warm up.

Comments:

Great run overall. I actually held back some. Two weeks ago, ran a 1/2 in South Florida in which I wound up in the medical tent, then the ER. For this race, I had to not all out it. I wanted to make sure that the last race was a fluke and would not be repeated for this race.
What would you do differently?:

Go harder.
Post race
Warm down:

Ate a banana, then headed home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Just me being cautious.

Event comments:

Think the course should not loop around so much.
