Run
Comments: Great Race! I def will sign up early next year and get in the seeded group. Weather was EXCELLENT for racing today. I probably could of PR'd the race if I had started closer to the front. The first two miles I lost time weaving and dodging to keep pace. I made sure I kept my arms pumping to get up the Hart Bridge. All the volunteers and the crowd were awesome, cheering everyone on! I highly recommend this race and it keeps getting bigger each year! What would you do differently?: Start closer to the front so I dont have to weave and dodge other runners the first few miles. Run more and plan ahead. Post race
Event comments: I will def be back. I recommend this race to everyone. This was the 6th time i've run this race. Last updated: 2013-03-09 12:00 AM

I wasn't planning on running this race, but two weeks before hand I ended up signing up. I missed out on seeding, I was placed in the grey group 10-12 minute pace. I woke up at 0430 (usual time I wake up before training at the YMCA). I had some coffee, a small yogurt and a piece of toast. Listened to some music and did some stretching. I left the house at 0715 and got to the stadium within 15 min. Stayed in the car until 0800 to keep warm. Race didnt start until 0830.
Did some stretching exercises while waiting for the race to start. I was going to use mile 1 as my warmup.
