Event warmup:

I got up at the race with like 7 minutes to check in and get ready they were closing check in when i got there. they handed me my packet aand i had to run like a chicken with my head cut off to get up to the start on time. so didn't strech at all or jog a bit to warm up the legs.

Comments:

I started off way to quick for about the first half a mile then i got settled down and got in my pace. the 301 was awesome to have i could look at my pace and make sure i was running my race.
What would you do differently?:

denfinatly wake up earlier i should get up to the race half an hour to twenty minutres early so i'm not rushing to check in and get to the start line
Post race
Warm down:

strech out and jog a quarter of a mile to cool down

What limited your ability to perform faster:

arrived to the race late i had to start the race witho ut streching and still having everythign cold if i could of warm up i could of been able to shed layers and been cooler on the run

Event comments:

no water stations on the course. however in 20 degree wheather not really needed but would of been nice. plently of volunteers about every quarter mile on the course there was a volunteer. course was mark very well didn't get off course being one of the BOP finishers. I will most likely do the race next year. this race gave me a base to work off of now.
