Comments: I had a great race which I think reflects in my PR time and first time in the top 100. I also missed the top 10 in my age group by 1 minute, oh well next time. Everything felt good my breathing was calm and smooth, my legs were a little tight and sluggish but not bad, and my form was good throughout the race. What would you do differently?: I think I will avoid doing my 64 mile bike ride to and from work 2 days before a race. That was probably the tight and sluggishness my legs where experiencing.

Warm down: I ate a turkey Subway sandwich from the Subway booth, 1 chocolate chip cookie, 1 Jamba Juice thing, 2 gaterades, and 2 bottles of water. Cheered on my running group peeps as they finished. What limited your ability to perform faster: Probably the bike ride to and from work 2 days before the race. Next time I won't do that and see if I can go faster. Also could probably do more speed work. Last updated: 2008-04-08 12:00 AM

As usual Loni and I slept in. Our running group was meeting at around 6:30 so that we could send off the walkers at their 7:15 start. We got to the parking lot at around 7:30. A little late but well rested:) Ate two Eggo waffles in the car on the drive to the race. Applied sun screen in the parking lot as directed by Loni since it was going to be a beautiful clear day.
Loni and I did a slow jog from the parking lot to the race start which was about half a mile.
