Pre-race routine:

Walked around the arena for a little while.
Event warmup:

none, i figured there were thirteen miles to run, the first couple could serve as a warm up. The goal was to finish, not to be extremely fast.

Comments:

I felt really good for the first ten miles, and then it started to slide down hill. The last mile was really hard!!! My legs hurt so bad at the end. I couldn't really tell if my hamstrings were cramped up or if they just ached. My legs are still alittle sore today too. My run training had been a little unorganized/planned/goal oriented the last couple of weeks, so I feel that i could have been a little better prepared than i was today. I was also dealing with a swollen ankle. Its been bruised since my bike wreck and has been swelling that last couple of days. I wrapped it and ran and it didn't give me too much of a problem.
What would you do differently?:

Needed to be better hydrated day before and morning before race. More consistent run training.
Post race
Warm down:

walked around a little. Sat down and streched some. Muscles were really aching. Spent a 35 min sitting in the parking lot trying to get out. What a jam.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

training inconsistencies

Event comments:

Except for the traffic jam leaving, i really enjoyed the race. The volunteers were great as were the spectators.
