Pre-race routine:

It was evening start 6:30pm. Not a very good start to my day. I was not feeling too well. Was up at about 4:30 am - very bad cramps and sharp pain in my chest. Slept most of the day. Did not eat much. Don't know if it was a touch of the stomach flu, food poisoning or just anxiety. Woke up around 2:00 p.m. still didn't feel 100% but decided to race. Had some crackers and water to settle my stomach. Ended up having a little bit more to eat beforing leaving the house at 4:45 p.m.
Event warmup:

A light jog few 100m. and some stretches.

Comments:

Very happy with my run. My Goal was under 50:00 min's and I accomplished that. Started somewhere in the front of the pack. Had a good pace right from the start. Still was not feeling 100% but worked through it. The last 1km or so I tried to go faster, I might have had a little burst of speed at the end.
What would you do differently?:

Pre-run the course before race day to have an idea and a feel for the area.
Post race
Warm down:

Not much of a warm down. Walked a little bit and had some Gatorade. After that went to find Nancy and the kids.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing really, I did better than I was hoping to do.

Event comments:

Overall a great run for me, I was extremely pleased with myself and I would do this 10K race again or maybe consider doing the half marathon next year.
