Pre-race routine:

Race start was at 11:59 am.. kinda weird- but nice to not have to get there early.
Event warmup:

Did about a mile in the rain- ugh... I wish I would have warmed up longer- but didnt feel like being totally wet before I started. Next time- I suck it up and warmup. Went inside to do some stretching.

Ugh- I just want to break 22 minutes- is that asking so much. I think I could have pushed myslef harder though. Still a PR> Mile 1 was easy- felt great- justtried to keep an even stride/ pace for the whole race. Decided not to look at my watch all the time and just run hard. I dont know if this helped or hurt me?? The rain decided to almost stop for the run- which was nice- but man there were a lot of pudddles to run around ( or through ). My friend and I both had the race distance at 3.2 miles though... so if it really was I was a little faster (if that makes me feel better, huh?).
Fun race though, free beer and champagne, and medals 1st-10th.
I was 5th in my AG but in every other AG I would have been 2cnd... thats is my luck :)
What would you do differently?:

Warm up a little longer. Push harder. Run faster:)
Post race
Warm down:

Drink beer:)

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Id like to blame it on the wet pavement- but not likely- just need to run faster.

Event comments:

Great job Tammy!  Sucky weather for a sub-22 attempt.  Take a look at my post on the Mentor forum as I converted your race time into run pacing for different training zones.  We'll get the HR-based zones after a formal test in a week or so.  Good job!!
