 Run
Comments: the first few miles was a lot of bobbing and weaving to get on pace. finally found some room around mile 3. my plan was to keep it steady and on goal pace of 7:00/mile until ~mile 9 and then go for it. the plan was working great. mile 8 was back over the bridge into d.c. and it was uphill and into the wind. another runner came by at a good pace and i decided to go early and jump on. i help onto him and a few other runners the final 2 miles and pushed it to the end to beat the goal by just over a minute. What would you do differently?: nothing.  Post race
Warm down: met up with scott (3558) who also had a great race and got our bags to change before we got too cold. we hung out and looked for all the other runners. everyone seemed to have an awesome run and beat their goals. it was great. then a bunch of the vamddcbtttc went for an awesome brunch! What limited your ability to perform faster: getting over being sick and early season, but no complaints. went just as planned. Event comments: this is a great race. the new course is great and it's really well done. i would definitely recommend it. Last updated: 2008-01-29 12:00 AM

had a bagel at home and then drove to metro. we were the last stop and the metro took 10 minutes before it actually left the station. that coupled with already being a little late meant we were really late. had a gu as i got off the train.
jogged from the metro station to the baggage check and heard my wave already starting. dropped off my bag and ran straight into the gates to start the race at the back of my corral. luckily i didn't have to go to the bathroom.
