Pre-race routine:

Got up at 4 to take my Infinit Nutrition. Made my soy, whey (ON) and Infinit Mud mix. Rolled my feet and did my foam roller routine.
Event warmup:

I did some static stretches and ran a couple easy loops around the Birkdale Shopping center. This really worked out for me on my start.

Comments:

I'm not sure about my overall rank, so I'm just including what the race report says for now.
What would you do differently?:

This was the first 1/2 I was able to actually focus my training on and it's starting to pay off. Might not bring my phone with me the next time, it wasn't that cumbersome but more of a distraction.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and talked with my club mates. I also say Maria and Pete and was able to take some pictures. I also had Bill Scibetta do some work on my legs, he told me my left side was tight. Something that has been that way for some time and something I should work on.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing. I felt great from the very beginning to the end.

Event comments:

Bear did an even better job this year. Well organized and plenty of massage vendors on hand. Well done!
