Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 2:30, took a quickie shower to kind get myself a little more alert. Got on the first bus at 3:00 a.m. to make sure I had plenty of time.
Event warmup:

Froze my testes off standing around and walking over to start line.

Comments:

Running through the parks was cool, but on the open segments there isn't much to look at. The characters they had out were fun though. If a person could start towards the front and not get get hemmed in by walkers and a huge crowd, this would be a great PR race. Overall, we took walk breaks about every 3 miles and kept the pace slow knowing what we had coming tomorrow. I felt great on this run and I am pretty sure I could have finally broke 2 hrs on this one if that was my goal.
What would you do differently?:

Dress a little warmer. I walked out of my room in a t-shirt and thought "this isn't too bad". I didn't take into account standing around for 2+ hours.
Post race
Warm down:

Bagel, water, picture. Off to go take a nap.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

26.2 the next day.

Event comments:

I'll probably go do this again, although it is a $$$$ race.
