Pre-race routine:

My company is one of the sponsors of this terrific event, and we had a large team (as usual) supporting the cause. Was great to see so many people before (and after) the race. Kim and the two older kids ran (kids did a relay), which was a blast.
Event warmup:

Mile jog with Kim.

Comments:

Came into this one in middling shape, at best, so it was at least a minute slower than last year. Fun, either way. Went back to finish with Kim and then back again with Kim to finish with Ted (our oldest, who ran the anchor lap of the relay with Meghan). Then cheered myself hoarse for the rest of the finishers!
What would you do differently?:

Get in shape?
Post race
Warm down:

Beer.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Only lack of training. Nothing unusual...

Event comments:

Great cause, great crew, family, friends, co-workers and post-race local craft beer. Just a great day!
