Pre-race routine:

Preface: Two weeks ago I started running again after several years off. The first day I hit three miles I saw this race and decided, sort of on a whim, to register. Thought about backing out several times but then thought about how lame it would be to not try so I ran, not expecting much of anything.

Pre-race routine: none, ate a banana and drank a little coffee and a bunch of water
Event warmup:

stretching. . .
