Pre-race routine:

Event warmup:

Just a little short jog in place.

Comments:

What would you do differently?:

Post race
Warm down:

Did an extra 4 miles to break the 30-mile barrier! I did these miles very very slowly though. Super twitchy muscles--on the verge of cramping up.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Need to take in electrolytes!

Event comments:

Awesome scenery, great support, fun times all around!
