Pre-race routine:

Deep Purple's Made in Japan and a Powergel.
Event warmup:

Jogged for about 10 min. then stretched a bit. Was in awe at the huge crowd!

First 5K 26:04
Second 5K 24:16

In spite of the negative split, this is my second worst stand-alone 10K.
What would you do differently?:

Well...This could be long. But to sum it up, I'd say "train the run more". I'm currently training for an Adventure Race and have changed my running days for short hikes.

I can actually say that I did pass a lot of people on the 3 or 4 short climbs/bridges and their respective downhills, but got passed badly on the flats!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, stretched, cramped up, and talked to friends.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of specific run training and "focus"...went out to have a good time and did so. But I have to admit that even if I said I didn't have any expectations, there's always a little self-competitiveness there!

Still, I'm glad I did it.

Event comments:

This is the best 10K in Caracas, by far. Gotta love the live bands and the samba ensambles during the run!

Geez mate, you "race" every weekend!!  Nice job.  I know you said it was your second slowest 10k ever, but as you said, you're training for something else right now.  Come Dec/Jan when IM training kicks in, you'll get your running speed back soon enough.

This was your 2nd slowest 10k?????  Remind me never to race you.   Sounds like the race was a blast though with the bands going.  Great race Felix!
