Pre-race routine:

Left Breck at 4:00am w/Melinda, Jon, Buddy, and Diesel.
Parked at CU as recommended by the Bolder Boulder website.
Got there about 6:00 am and couldn't find the shuttle buses
to the start, asked a bunch of volunteers, nobody had any
idea and zero signage. A little odd for a race of over
54,000 people. I think people who do this race every year
have their routine down as far as where to park, etc.

So I jogged there about 2.5 miles w/lots of others doing
the same. Was a little worried since I had to find the start,
pick up my packet and get in my wave before 7:04 which I
made by at least two minutes. Forgot my watch again.
Event warmup:

2.5 mile jog.

Comments:

Ran hard. Just tried to keep up with the people around me. The waves were great. Everyone seemed to be running about the same speed. With no watch I had absolutely no idea how fast I was running. When I started the race clock said 4:50 and I planned on getting the end time and subtracting for my time but I forgot so I didn't even know my time until a got back to Breck and checked the web page.
What would you do differently?:

Bring a watch. Be faster.
Post race
Warm down:

None.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not enough fast running in training. Been trying to just build a running base and get some miles in.

Event comments:

Wish I had brought warm clothes. It got cold after the race. Next year, I'll know what I'm doing a little .
