Pre-race routine:

We drove the 1.5 hours from Orange County to Malibu. What a pretty drive. We did 2 Starbucks stops on the way. We saw dolphins frolicking in the ocean on the way up, lots of surfers, a few sea lions, and some awesome homes of some really rich people.
Event warmup:

We walked to register, and walked the .75 miles to the start line. No other warm up. That is sort of stupid.

Comments:

I took off and began my "labored" breathing right away. A friend of mine named Steve and I ran for the first 1/2 mile together, then he left me. I kept Steve in my sights for most of the race, then I over took him around mile 9.

What would you do differently?:

Warm up
Post race
Warm down:

Water, bagels, bannanas, walking.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Mhy fatigue from the prior days 40M bike ride on a new bike. My general soreness going into the race, and the late night party at my boss's house the night before, and a poor nights sleep...besides that it was great! HA-HA.

Event comments:

Nice 20K hilly trail run. I was fatigued after yesterdays bike ride. This was my very first real trail race and I really enjoyed it. So different from a typical road race. Smaller crowd, but some very talented runners.

I love trail races. They are so laid back and FUN!!  You did great, of course, especially considering the bike and party the day before!  Glad you had a good day out there, Lar Dog.
