Drove to race site. Got there early to pick up packet.
Event warmup:

Relax in car. Tried to rest my legs since they were so tired from all the moving the week before. Stretched and did a short run.

Comments:

We spent the week prior to the race packing our house for our move to Jax. The movers were at our house until 5 pm Friday. We finaly got to Jax at midnight. I was determined to do the run even though I was exhausted. My legs felt like lead during warm ups. Started too far back in pack. It was jammed with slow runners, walkers and even a double baby jogger. I had to weave around, slow down, speed up, etc to get past the slower runners. I passed the 10:40 pace group at mile 2, the 9:40 group at mile 6. My goal was 9 min per mile and I almost did it.
What would you do differently?:

Get to the start line earlier and closer to the front.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk through the expo area where it was air conditioned.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Starting spot at the beginning. Being tired from the move.

Event comments:

Great race venue. If you are looking to do a PR this isn't the race for you. It is way too crowded to get a good pace.
