Pre-race routine:

Hydration and drive down to the race. Did not want to eat this morning... Figured I would make up for it with Pizza and Beer post race since it was free!
Event warmup:

My usual Stretches, and sign up. We got there right before the race, so their wasn't time to jog any to warm up the legs

Comments:

Ran my HR Zones the whole race (160 - 170). Walked when I below 170 until I was at or right below 160. Seemed to work really well for me since I was not really tied at the end of the race. I did push the last 1/4 mile, and pushed the heart rate over the 170 HR.
What would you do differently?:

Get my sorry butt back in training and get back to my sub-9 and sub8 miles.
Post race
Warm down:

Heay stretching and free beer and pizza from the race. YEAH!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

My sloth like butt not getting off the couch and training, combined with a 15 pound weight gain since I fell off my training plan.

Event comments:

My wife and I do this race every year. It is fun, lot's of great people, well organized, and has a GREAT after race with free beer and pizza.
