Pre-race routine:

not much, I wasn't really treating this like a race, more like a hard training run. I ate a couple of granola bars as I was in a hotel and hadn't really planned for breakfast. I arrived at the last minute for the busses, but again, no stress as I wasn't racing.
Event warmup:

one mile run

Comments:

Great! Fast finish-I guess I raced anyway. My thoughts were to keep this under marathon pace just to see if I could find my pace. I do wonder now if I could have gone faster.
Post race
Warm down:

ate a bagel, banana and granola bar

Event comments:

The aid stations were 3 miles apart, fine with me. The busses were crowded and even with the last minute arrivals we started only 2 or 3 minutes late. I wonder if I could push this pace, at points I felt I was working for the 8:05, but then was able to find more. Maybe next year I really think about racing!
