 Run
Comments: Pretty good for my first 10K. And also pretty solid considering the week I put in and yesterday's workouts. I learned a lot about my fitness during this race. More than likely I probably could have taken the first 2-3 miles about 10-20 seconds faster per mile. I didn't want to get into too much of a race with some of the other guys in the lead pack yet though. There were probably about 10 of us in the lead pack for the first 3 miles. The guy in first was just out of sight. No catching him, he went like 34 mins or something. But other than that I moved up through the pack nicely and began picking people off one by one. That was nice. Once I passed the guy in second place I really picked up my cadence and just started to go. I wanted to put a hurting on him as I saw he was dropping back a little bit and I didn't want him to think I was going to go shoulder to shoulder with him and pace. I just passed him and didn't look back. What would you do differently?: Faster through the first 5K. The end of the run is all up hill so everyone pays here. A good race overall...  Post race
Warm down: Half mile cool down or so...got some recovery drink in me right away, protein, glycogyn, etc... What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing... Event comments: Overall a good race for a good cause. This was only going to be a training run so I am happy with the end result. My wife asked me to do it with her as she was doing the walk with my daughter and a few friends. Pretty glad I did it. Nice day too. Last updated: 2007-04-22 12:00 AM

Got up and did some streatching. Took a nice shower and got some food in me. Lots of hydration, HEED on the way to the race, other than that just water.
Got registered and then off to the course for a quick 2 mile warm up. Stretched out nicely and ran the 3K out and back plus a little more. Did some pick ups for about 20-45 seconds on the way back. It was all up hill so this was a good warm up. Got legs really loose. From there I went back and stretched out and waited in the shade. It was pretty hot. I got off my feet and just relaxed. About 10 mins before the race I drank one more water and then had a orange gu.... Lots of bathroom stops today.
