Pre-race routine:

The night before I went out with my friends and had beer and chicken wings!! My thoughts were if I were in college again, this is the way I would run the race!! This might not have been the best decision!!!
Event warmup:

I just jogged a couple of blocks b/c it was cold out!!

Comments:

I ran to the KK at a 6:25/mile pace and then the torture began. I was in 130th place when we got to KK and I finished in 1436!!! After getting to number 5, I knew I was going to struggle eating the doughnuts. I had actually picked a bad spot to eat my doughnuts b/c there were people all around me. Had I went to the outside, I would have ate faster and just puked and then ate some more but in order to keep them down, I had to go really slow after the first 5. The last doughnut took me probably 10 minutes to eat!! The run back was not too bad but I took really slow b/c I knew I wasn't going to make it in the one hour mark!! My stomach was cramping through the first mile though!!
What would you do differently?:

Take it easy the night before and go to a different area to eat!!
Post race
Warm down:

Just try not to puke!! I went home and slept for a couple of hours!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I would like to say the night before but who knows......eating a dozen doughnuts might not be my cup of tea!!!

Event comments:

This is a must do race!!! It is basically a big party!!
