Pre-race routine:

wake at 5:45. eat oatmeal and banana with coffee. Had G1 prime 30 minutes prior to start. Walked to corrals and stood, and stood, and stood. It was just me and 30,000 of my closest friends...
Event warmup:

none. It's hard to move with so many people around.

Comments:

Next time I will place myself with a higher finish time. I guesses at 2 hours, but I progressed enough in my training to jump some corrals. There wasn't enough space to pass people until mile 11.
What would you do differently?:

Seed myself differently
Post race
Warm down:

beer, wait for my family

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Performance was good, but my seeding was poor. Too many people to navigate through

Event comments:

This crew knows how to run an efficient and flawless race! The packet pickup was amazing and the gear check was remarkable! They really thought every detail through... except the choice of route. I thought they could pick wider and nicer roads to run on. Lots of gravel, broken roads, and narrow paths.
