Pre-race routine:

Picked up race number, got semi-settled, then hung out with Stacie for a bit. Met up with Mel and Shannon, and did a warm up. Hit the port-a-johns with no time to spare.
Event warmup:

Ran with Stacie and Shannon for 6-8 minutes or so. Added in high knees and butt kicks

Comments:

Legs felt like lead the last 3-4 miles. Rather unprepared for this race as school has been more important for the past 3-4 weeks!

I ran this race in 2005 with a time of 2:04:44. So I'm out of shape.
What would you do differently?:

Train more. Not go to school. Not apply for a freakin grant. :) OK, kidding.
Post race
Warm down:

Felt like puking. Said hi to the BT group....of which there were a LOT! Good to see everyone.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training, BUT now that my grant is almost done, I'm BACK :)

Event comments:

I'd love an aid station a little more frequently than every 2 miles! But it still worked.
