Pre-race routine:

Got up at 5:30 and had a banana and then ran from home to race start.
Event warmup:

Ran 11k at a very easy pace. It's not so great to start any run from home: too many steep climbs and long downhills + bad roads.

Got to the line about 15 min. before the start. Had a banana HammerGel, yum! Found Mayde and stretched.

Comments:

1k 4:58 Weaving through the crowds. Tried to keep a good pace but avoiding shifting my line and pace too much to pass people.
2k 5:08 Climbing starts
3k 4:42 Made up some ground on the flat sections
4k 5:12 Toughest climb of the race.
5k 5:19 Are we going to be heading uphill all day?
6k 4:03 Oh my! The eternal downhill. Passed gazillions of people. I think we just recovered all of the altitude we had gained in the previous 5km's.
7k 5:38 I felt I had maybe pushed too hard on the downhill and tried to regrouo and catch my breath. Fall into pace.
8k 4:23 Feeling strong
9k 4:37 Pushing it!
10k 4:42 Dropped the pace for about a minute then proceeded to run hard and sprint a bit toward the end.
What would you do differently?:

Though this was about 1:30 min slower than my PB, this felt like a great run.

Of course, when I shoot for my PB, I won't run 11k before that. This was my last long run before my half mary on May 4th!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

An extremely long warm up. Too many uphill km's and only one really long downhill.
