Run
Comments: It was a nice run with great spectator support. Could have done without the wind though. What would you do differently?: Eat and drink a little more before the race, especially since we had the extra 30 min before start. Also, I ran the 1st few miles with a pack of ~10-15 runners but backed off their pace because I didn't think I could hold it for the whole race. I really wish I would have at least stayed with them as a wind block for the beach segment. Post race
Warm down: Walked around and stretched. Had a nice runner's high going on, so I headed home and got ready for my parents and sisters to come visit the next day: baked a pie and banana bread, cooked mashed potatoes, green beans, did laundry, vacuumed, then went to a bridal expo... at 7 pm ambition got the best of me and I finally crashed. What limited your ability to perform faster: The cold and wind. Event comments: I LOVE the race! My only wish is that they get it together with regards to being able to start on time. Last year shuttles were late, so they tried something different having parking this year, which did not work at all! Still, a fun race for a great cause that I will do year after year.

Traffic was so bad I got out and walked the last 2 miles to the start. I was lucky my fiance drove me so I had that option. I arrived at the start in plenty of time since they delayed race start by 30 min.
