Pre-race routine:

Went to the company booth to help set up. We sponsor this event, as we have a significant presence in the genetics space. This is a terrific organization, and I'm happy, humbled and proud - all at once! - to be able to be part of it.
Event warmup:

Jogged around Camp Mabry with Kim, looking at the static displays. I'm a pilot, so jogging past the "birds" on display was almost too much!

Comments:

6:41 6:43 - I wrote this last year. Not sure where I was going with these numbers... Ran hard. Lotsa good sweating. Probably held back a little, as I had a tri the next morning.
What would you do differently?:

Run harder? Train more? Really, not much.
Post race
Warm down:

Went to the finish line shoot and cheered myself hoarse! Lots of happy faces out there (and Kim won her age group, too!).

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Same old, same old (like, being old, etc.). I think I held back a little, as I had a tri the next morning.

Event comments:

Great cause! Great race in an awesome setting! Cannot say enough good things about this one.
