Pre-race routine:

Nothing special, ate a modest "lunch" at midnight. Had a snack about 3 am to help keep energy levels up.

Walked from the "office" to the start, about a 1/4 mile.

Comments:

Started out a little fast, slowed down but had trouble settling into a comfortable pace. Finally was able to settle in. Tried to maintain pace but the field thinned out after the first lap so had to push to catch the next person. Around 5:30 it started to heat up. My pace was bouncing around a lot, was able to push a little, but the race was about 45 minutes after I normally run so not used to the extra heat.
What would you do differently?:

Carry a bottle of water for the first lap.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked back to the "office" changed shirt and went and ate breakfast.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The heat, tried to push the pace more than usual for the 7 miles. Not used to holding the faster pace for 2 laps.

Event comments:

Pleased with the race, pushed a lot but did not hit my goal. Target goal was 8:00-8:10 PPM, did 8:12 so barely missed it.
