A few yoga poses and hip rotations.

Comments:

I can't recall ever running a race without stopping. I felt like I was running on air. I was seriously undertrained, but my shin splint wasn't bothering me and I had plenty of stamina.
What would you do differently?:

Train a little more.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, drank water, ate a granola bar, met up with my stepson.

Event comments:

This was the race I needed to feel alive again.
