Pre-race routine:

Water just before race - sat in my stomach, ugh
Breakfast was two Pop Tarts twohours before, and some coffee
Arrived 45 minutes early, about right

Event warmup:

Ran for about five minutes. A couple more would have been good. Started too far back so I had to dodge a lot of bodies in the beginning.

Run

Comments:

Could have pushed more about two-thirds of the way through

What would you do differently?:

A little less water before the start.

Post race

Warm down:

The usual kicks and stretches.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

didn't train much. Should try to train next year - I could podium this race

Event comments:

Gotta have chip timing at the start, because i really can't compare my time to my own previous efforts.

There was chip timing for the finish, but not the start, so I ran maybe 15 seconds or so faster than what is posted - honest! That also means I don't have formal times, though I heard someone call out 8:16 at the mile market, so I must have run that at about 8:00 flat. Other splits - well couldn't get the watch to work.
Course:	Two loops in Central Park, mild hills
Keeping cool	Good	Drinking	Too much
