Pre-race routine:

Up early and out to Kelly's apartment to meet up and take public transportation into the city.
Event warmup:

Intended on doing a warm-up, but I got a late start towards my corral, and spent my warmp-up time jockeying for position and then chatting with a friend of mine that I ran into to!

Comments:

Not the best nor the worst run of my life. This race is fun as long as you don't go into it with any expections of speed -- it's hard to elbow around people running with 30,000 of your closest friends.

Game plan was to start easy, keep a steady pace through the middle and hammer the last mile. Totally nailed the game plan, just think that I should have done it FASTER.

I'm not satisfied, but that's okay - gives me something to work torwards.
What would you do differently?:

Run faster. Duh. :)

Warm down:

Stand around, all sweaty and FREEZING while waiting for us all to meet up again. :)

Nice job on the race today. And great job nailing the game plan while amongst 30,000 of your closest friends. That is no small accomplishment. Looking forward to more races together, hopefully in warmer weather.
