Pre-race routine:

Coffee, banana and a couple of handfuls of raisins about two hours before start.
Event warmup:

About a five minute jog - would have liked to have stretched more but the start time was moving around and ended up not having enough time. They said there would be a 20 minute delay because not everyone had got there bibs yet - then about five minutes later they were yelling "start is in four minutes".

Comments:

Started out way fast - sub 7min for the first half mile, heart rate was around 170. Backed off to around 8:15/mile and heart rate settled to 156 after the first mile. Kept it there pretty consistently the whole way, with a surge in the last mile.
What would you do differently?:

Stretch more before the start - it was cold and legs felt tight.
Post race
Warm down:

A little stretching.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

cold, snowy weather.

Event comments:

Started snowing like crazy about an hour before start - a lot of people bailed out. Start was delayed 15 minutes because there was a long line of people picking up packets - organizers should have done that the day before. Snow stopped after a couple of miles. Was a fun race, would be much better with some decent weather.
