Pre-race routine:

Race started at 1:20, so we had a full day before hand. Watched the kids 1/4 mile run, which was pretty hysterical. Kelly found us and we met up with BigGirlTring and MNDiver at the start.
Event warmup:

Walked to start, which was a few blocks away.

Comments:

I thought this went pretty good, but there were some seriously fast people out there. My first 8K, but definitely a personal record for pace. It was pretty windy, which made catching my breath more difficult than I would like.
What would you do differently?:

Have more water, but nothing else.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around and stretched, cheered in a few more people.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Practice?

Event comments:

I thought I did well. I was surprised to see my overall rank and that the average was an 8 min mile! Who are these people? Wow.
