Pre-race routine:

Walked over to the Sheraton and caught the shuttle to the start. I'm guessing I got there at about 6am. Stood in line for the porta potti for a good 45 minutes or so. Walked to the start corral and waited maybe 10 minutes for the start.
Event warmup:

No warmup.

Comments:

Felt good, had to stop to pee right after we started, just about wet myself:) Tried to go easy on the hills, then made up some time starting at about mile 8. Really a nice course, ran through some nice neighborhoods, good crowds, beautiful weather to run.
What would you do differently?:

Knowing the course would have helped, I would not have held back as much on the first part.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked over to the parking lot to try and meet some other people that traveled with us from Wilmington.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training was not what it could have been due to achille's problem.

Event comments:

I would recomend this race, great city, very friendly. Just be ready for hills:)
