Pre-race routine:

nothing special, had some cheerioes and water and some gatorade.

Comments:

It was a solid performance considering it my fist 10k this year. I misjudged my ability to catch the pack, I started slower in the first mile and the pack took a 46 second lead on me, and I could never reel them in.
What would you do differently?:

I would drink more fluids and keep pace with the lead pack rather than trying to hunt them down towards the latter part of the run
Post race
Warm down:

Stretch and go home

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My slow start in the first mile, thats really what effected my performance.

Event comments:

Good race.

Performance:
Course: Course was a relaively flat 3.1 out and back. On the wasy back there is about an 8% incline which I didnt realize and it hurt my time a little. My thought was to cruise the first 3 and push the last three and get a negative split and beat my nemesis as well.
