Pre-race routine:

Woke up, had banana and Muscle Milk, woke up the baby, gave him a warm bottle of (non muscle) milk.
Drove to Clyde's with Sir Toddler H, met up with my friend Deb
Event warmup:

The porta potty line was hella long, and as I was lamenting this, a guy whispered, "the coffee shop bathrooms are open and have no line." I LOVE YOU RANDOM GUY! ... and that was pretty much it as far as my warm up went.

First race post DNF and I really, really enjoyed it. I forgot how much I truly love running and racing. It was a tough course and I went into it with no expectations, which is not my style, but I just didn't care (in a good way). I figured somewhere between 50:00 and 55:00 and a 50:40 with a low 8s pace is pretty awesome!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing

Warm down:

Mimosa and omelet. Mmmmm.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Did a 15 mi run 2 days ago

Event comments:

A solid local race! I think it's maxed out at 2000 runners, though.. I really hope the Striders don't try to expand the field next year. It was a little crowded at times but thinned out. Lots of volunteers, two water stations - perfect. The post race food looked good but the line was SUPER long and I wasn't going to wait in it with a hungry toddler!
