Pre-race routine:

The usual carnation instant breakfast with milk for breakfast. Drove over to my Mom's house to drop of the kids and then walked/jogged from there to the event sign in area.
Event warmup:

Walked over to the 10 mile start area to wish some friends good luck and then headed back to the 3 mile start. Mostly visited with friends and walked in place a bit.

Comments:

I started a little too far back and had to work through the crowd a bit after the start.
What would you do differently?:

Start closer to the front to avoid playing "catch up" during the race.
Post race
Warm down:

Grabbed water and fruit then walked back along the course to cheer my wife on as she finished.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Fitness level and bad start

Event comments:

A fun (bigger) local race. I will run this again next year.
