Pre-race routine:

Up at 530am for a quick breakfast of banana, english muffin, and 20oz water. Took 20oz water again 1 hour prior to race.

Arrived on site 1 hour prior - tough to find good parking. Picked up chip and caught up with running mates.
Event warmup:

Dynamic warmups. 20 min jog with 3x30" pickup to 10k pace. Felt good and loose prior to race

Comments:

Good race in beautiful weather. Took the pace out a little hard for first 4 miles...pace would have been a great 10k for me at this point in the season. Focused on form and exertion on hills. Maintained pace fairly well until last 2 mile climb at mile 11-13. Nothing left at end of race.
What would you do differently?:

Minded my pace for the initial 4 miles. Felt great, but took it out too hard and paid for it when I hit the first hill at the 6 mile mark and therafter.
Post race
Warm down:

After post race nutrition and stretches, ran 2mi cool down nice and easy. No injury pain, just post race fatigue.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mental discipline and focus.

Event comments:

Solid race. Lots of police traffic control and volunteers. Solid post-race expo in Wachovia atrium. Drink stations every two miles.
