Warm down:

Went to the post race food tent and had a cinnamon bun, a glass of Gatorade, 500 mL chocolate milk, a 250 mL tetrapak of orange juice and a GU. Then I walked/lightly jogged back to my car.

Event comments:

I set a PB today by 7 minutes and 40 seconds. It was cool and sunny which are perfect conditions for me to run in. I did no speed work, or run specific training. I just used my left over fitness from IM Lake Tahoe.
