Pre-race routine:

Got up around 7 and had some cereal and coffee. I made sure that I drank a whole bottle of water while getting ready.
Event warmup:

Did 1 mile for a warm up at about 9:11 pace. Went down the trail about a half mile and back. Stretched out a bit while waiting for the 4 mile runners to take off.

Comments:

I actually felt really good on this run. I was out to get my miles in for the day and just decided that I would do what my legs wanted to do. I was tired at the end but not totally wrecked. I'm happy with the race overall.
What would you do differently?:

Actually, I don't think I'd do anything differently. Wait, I would charge the batteries for my garmin overnight....that way it wouldn't have shut off by mile 7. :-) That's about it though.

Warm down:

Walked a bit and then did some stretching to hopefully not be too sore tomorrow.

Nothing

Event comments:
