Run
Comments: I kept my pace between 6:00 and 5:40 for the first 7k. I had some 5k'ers to keep pace with for the first lap and locked in with a girl from my running group on the second lap. I left her at the 8k mark and was able to pick off a runner in the last 200 meters. Our coach was taking finish line photos (hopefully I'll be able to post one soon) What would you do differently?: Not much. I had a good pace for my goal, and I didn't really have anything left at the end. I was recovering from an injury and had not run in a week and a half. My general fitness and training needs to improve if I want to better this time. Post race
Warm down: food, water, walk, stretch What limited your ability to perform faster: my training. I ran a close to optimal race for what I am currently capable of. Event comments: There were sooo many door prizes, I think everyone got something. The WRACE group is good, but the quality of the race is definitely affected by who the primary sponsor is. This one was GREAT! Last updated: 2008-03-21 12:00 AM

I did not sleep well at all. Probably less than 5 hours. I also managed to pull muscles just over my left knee the night before.
I have a banana and an access bar after a shower and was ready to go
"Hi". That was my warm up. Our runnign group "graduated" with this race, so there were a lot of people to say hello to.
