Run
Comments: Weird start, but it was still a PR. Very good mental and physical effort. The cool weather helped - -I didn't stop at the aid stations. What would you do differently?: Probably get into a better startng position. By the time I got across the start, there were lots of walkers, etc that I had to navigate through the crowd to get through. Once the corwd thinned, I was bale to get into a rhythm. Post race
Warm down: Grabbed some water and headed back to the finish the cheer on my friends. What limited your ability to perform faster: Poor start and the early crowd - -both my fault. Event comments: Good race. My wife came in at 25:32 (also a PR) ! It really helped that I picked out a good rabbit to chase throughout the course. I passed him near the end, but he beat me down the chute. Still, he kept my pace up. Last updated: 2007-03-31 12:00 AM

Didn't sleep well, but obviously good enough. Got to the race a little later than I wanted. Ate 1/2 Clif Bar and lots of water. Suck down a GU before the start.
I was stretching and talking with some friends somewhat near the start line when we heard the gun go off. OOPS! Left my group and set my watch, iPod, etc ad I made my way through the crowd to the start. I don't think I was quite ready to run.
