Pre-race routine:

Picked up MAria at 9 and drove to Lumberton. We parked in the same lot as the previous 4 years and walked to packet pick up. It was cold and windy so we hung out in the truck until it was time to warm up.
Event warmup:

I started with about 5 minutes of walking followed by a short 1 mile run. I ran slow and allowed the muscles to warm up, then did some stretching before the start.

Comments:

I started out fast and when we made the first left toward the river I was already breathing hard. I tried to set into a pace that I could maintain through out the next two miles. I slowed a little and took longer strides which seemed to help. Weh we passed mile 2 and took the right turn on Elm st I was sucking wind and watching for EMS guys (just in case). I was along side some guy who I thought may be in my age group. My mind was saying to speed up at the end and pass him but he beat me to the punch and took off. I was passed by 2 or 3 others before I finally got in.
Post race
Warm down:

2 beers and a turkey leg.

Event comments:

This is always a fun race. The chile cook off and beer was just some of the action. There were many venders selling the garbage food we all love. Ill be back next year.
