Pre-race routine:

Woke up around 520ish and got some breakfast. Ended up driving down with my Uncle.
Event warmup:

Not much of a warm up standing in line for the bathrooms. My wave went off about 15 minutes before I was able to "Really start"

Comments:

Good run and realyl pleased with my times. I would say due to the course I was a little off with my watch and getting the exact mile times for every mile. But very pleased with my pace in the beginning. Tried to back it down a bit around mile 6-8ish and kicked it up for the end.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really maybe know the end of the course a little better and actually run with my wave. Dodging about 6000 people isn't the best thing to do.
Post race
Warm down:

Got some food and water and waited for my uncle to finish

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing really

Event comments:

I will be doing this every year if I can. GREAT race and wonderful course.

Performance: Good
Course: Fairly flat out and loved it. Had to dodge between all the people in the first 3 miles to really get into my pace group. I would say if I went off with my original group I probably would have been a little better in the first few miles.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Too much
