Pre-race routine:

Wake up at 5:30 eat normal breakfast and relax since race is about 2 miles from my house.
Event warmup:

Walk to the starting area and wait. It took almost 5 min to get to the starting line so walking was my warmup, plus it was hot and humid already.

Comments:

This was my 1st time doing this event even though I live in the town. It is a crazy event with people all over the place. The start is just trying to move around all the walkers who were up in the running spots instead of moving to the back where the walkers were supposed to be. Then Krispy Cream's @ 2miles, then Beer, hills, crazy people all over and crapy bands. Then you finish to the greatest popsicle ever.
What would you do differently?:

Run 10 miles before a 10 mile race.
Post race
Warm down:

Find my wife, baby and father. Then look for other people I Knew were there.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of actually running this far before

Event comments:

This is one of the best organized races anyone could ever do in my opinion. It is well supported by the community and is a lot of fun.
