Sunny
Total Time = 22m 47s
Overall Rank = 19/122
Age Group = 40-44
Age Group Rank = 4/13
Pre-race routine:

Drank one bottle of wine and one shot of brandy in order to finally fall asleep at 11:30PM (chronic sleep trouble).

I live 50 miles from the event. I got up at 6:40 and left the house at 7:40. I ate nothing but stretched a lot and drank at least 25 ounces of water.
Event warmup:

I ran for about 5 minutes. It did not feel well, but I think it was because I was very anxious.
Run

Comments:

I felt good. Did the first mile in 7:02, second mile in 7:23. Felt a bit tuckered out at the end.

My time is not fast yet (need to get down under 21:00 for a stand alone 5K), but it was another PR for these "new" days of competition.
What would you do differently?:

Everything went well. I trained a lot more then usual over the past 25 days and unexpectedly took the entire day off before the race.
Post race
Warm down:

Stretched and ate a bannana.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

A lack of training from October to Mid-March.

Event comments:

Another good experience with Ultra Fit USA.
