Pre-race routine:

2nd day of bad head cold. If I wasn't pre-registered I would have certainly skipped the race. Finding parking was a nightmare. Finally find a spot. Then jogged to the Armory.
Event warmup:

No real warm-up, jogged to the start.

Comments:

Took almost 30 seconds to hit the start line, then never really got going. So many people. Head cold didn't help matters. Early season race, haven't done any hard workouts yet, not too worried.
What would you do differently?:

Get there earlier to find parking and not be sick.
Post race
Warm down:

No warm-down. Got stuff, changed and headed home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Winter weather! Mostly did long slow running, nothing fast for the last few months.

Event comments:

Liked the bands on route. Though a little crowded for what I am used to!
