Pre-race routine:

A GU about 25 mins pre-race (was 15 mins pre-race, but race was 10 mins late). NO BREAKFAST BEFORE THAT - I think that helped!

Jog to get there. Stood around for 10 mins.

Started easy treating it like a tempo run. Felt GOOD and finished strong!

What would you do differently?:

Not much!

Post race

Warm down:

Jogged back to car, stretched at home for a few mins, then drove to Andy Linder's for Thanksgiving.

Event comments:

Have to try not having breakfast more often! Was HAPPY with this results after not taking this race too seriously thinking I'd be posting a few 3:00 half mile splits.
