Pre-race routine:

Chalk this up to a never again, went to get a quick workout in on Friday before the race, came down the stairs in the gym and missed the last step, twisting my ankle pretty good
Event warmup:

Couple of easy laps around the Nascar Hall of Fame looking for my uncle

Comments:

Felt good, the tape job I did on my ankle worked well. Took off from my friends at around mile 5 and felt great. Hit a wall at about 9 miles and tried to slow down, but I continued to maintain ~8:30 pace which is what I was hoping to do anyway.
What would you do differently?:

Not sprain my ankle the day before the race.

Event comments:

Good production, but the start was a little chaotic, more so than other races I've been to.
