Pre-race routine:

got numbers/shirts, bathroom stop. put shirts in car, jogged back to community center for another bathroom trip. breakfast was a bagel and some cheese.
Event warmup:

this is the first race I've actually really warmed up for. did a little stretching, some jogging, some bouncing up and down to try to stay warm during the very windy start

Comments:

great run for me. felt very strong the whole way - did not hammer as this isn't a rest week for me. spent much of the race weaving around the giant groups of teenage walkers. serious headwind on parts of the race.
What would you do differently?:

not a thing. make it not be windy?
Post race
Warm down:

panted my way to the bathroom (I had to pee starting around 1.5 miles). drank some water, stretched in the community center out of the wind.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

training, headwind.

Event comments:

great race, although there is also a 3 mile walk and there were a million teenagers that walked about 17 across.

Nice finish on the race, looked like a lot of fun. I'll watch to see if you manage to stop the wind from blowing for your next race...that would be a great trick. Good luck with the ongoing training.
