Pre-race routine:

ran around looking for fromer and twins_momma, but only found fromer. i jumped around in place and cheered as fromer did his race!
Event warmup:

i booked it about a half mile from the finish line where i watched fromer cross to the starting line, got my blood pumping.

Post race
Warm down:

had half a bagel and half a banana, then slowly walked home to get money, go back to race place and have a guinness with the fromer.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

mentally - i'm always afraid of blowing up.

Event comments:

i think about 500 people signed up for this race in the last 2 days, so they had trouble with making sure there was enough stuff for everyone. but you can't really blame them, since i registered the day before the race and had a bib 197, but there were 700+ participants today.
