Pre-race routine:

I didn't plan to race this one all out because today was supposed to be an easy 4 mile run as part of a recovery week in my run training plan. Also didn't want to do my "easy" run pace which is around 9:50 so I was shooting for an 8:30 pace.
Event warmup:

Shoveled the driveway. A little over half a mile of easy running.

Comments:

Took it at sort of a medium pace as planned except when I got passed by 2 guys in my AG around mile 2. I just had to pass them back, so I did on the next little hill. My watch time was 26:26 which was right at my 8:30 goal pace. Not sure how I managed that since I'm not really good at pacing.
What would you do differently?:

Get there a little earlier and warm up a little more.
Post race
Warm down:

About half mile easy run.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Wasn't racing.

Event comments:

A very nice low key local race to help keep you going in the Winter.
