Pre-race routine:

Up at 6:30 for a 9:00 am race. Ate a small breakfast (mostly carbs). Got to race 40 minutes early. Was pre-registered so went right in to claim my pickup. The night before I had packed my carry bag to take. 1 hour before race took 2 vivarin (caffeine). Watered up 10 minutes before race. Ran 1/4 mile to warm the legs and stretched well finishing about 5 minutes before race start.

What would you do differently?:

Push a little harder towards the end. But I can't complain because it was an adult PR for me :) Beat my goal of 20:59 :)

Overall: 76/780
Performance: Good
Overall average heart rate was 174 for the race
Course: rolling hills with one fairly decent accent half way through the course. mostly uphill for the first half, mostly downhill to flat for the second half. Finish with a slight uphill. The flat parts were run alongside railroad tracks on the "rail trail". Pretty narrow. Only wide enough for 2 maybe 3 people side by side. I started near the front (maybe 100 back or about 5 rows). Went out in 6:30 pace (1st mile call) and averaged around 6:37 for the event.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Too much

Congratulations on setting a PR! I almost did that race this year, but opted for a long/slow run with my brother over at Wildwood instead. Maybe next year. I've heard that it's a lot of fun.
