Pre-race routine:

Again, last minute decision to run this one. Even as I was driving there, I didn't REALLY want to do it, but thought what the heck. During my warm up, I could pretty much tell I didn't have much for this race today.
Event warmup:

Jogged about half a mile to warm up.
Run
  • 25m 16s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 07s  min/mile
Comments:

First mile was 7:35. Probably should have slowed down just a bit. Second mile was two fairly big hills so pace slipped to 8:38. Mile 3, I'm just trying to hold on. I didn't have much gas for a big push at the end to get in under 25 minutes.
What would you do differently?:

Maybe less mile this week would have been good. Its time for me to wind down the running for the year and focus on getting some rest before gearing up the training for LP next year. I am enjoying these little races though and may do a couple more just for fun.
Post race
Warm down:

Got water and went for the food table. Waited around for awards as wasn't sure if I'd placed or not.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Tired legs.

Event comments:

Good little local race. Fifteen bucks on race day and in honor of the veterans. Fun just to be out there.
