Pre-race routine:

Met OCRC at the usual meeting spot, joked around for a while, drove to the race together playing pump-me-up tunes. Picked up our #'s, t-shirts & took pictures with the trophies we dream of winning someday :)
Event warmup:

walk to and from the car - stretch a little - not much of a warmup

Comments:

Felt good - tried to beat my time from last year - successful! Worked at running just past a comfortable pace - definitely felt my legs after about 6 or 7 - not nearly as much milage logged this year as last year (plus I had a marathon under my belt in april).
What would you do differently?:

More long runs leading up to the race
Post race
Warm down:

Water & a cliff bar & cheering on OCRC members

What limited your ability to perform faster:

not enough training

Event comments:

The chocolate gu I got handed - out of luck - put the biggest smile on my face...how did they know??? :)
