Comments: Race was only running a few minutes late, but I never expect races to start exactly on time. No big deal to me.
The quinoa/coconut water prerace works really well--better than oatmeal or shredded wheat with juice. No GI issues as quinoa digests better than wheat/oats and coconut water has way more electrolytes than any lab-concocted sports drinks. Absolutely no issues eating/digesting CLIF Bloks or shots while running at high pace.
Comments: Race was supposed to start at 8:10, and they said "17 minutes to start" 3 minutes after the 5K started at 8. There COULD have been a few more aid stations, but I was dying, so I was looking for them.
