Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4AM. Had oatmeal w/ skim milk for breakfast. Downed some water afterwards to help digestion. Got a nice warm shower. Then had a cup of coffee (no cream or sugar) about 5:30, 1-hour before race time. In the car I went and off to the race!
Event warmup:

After the bag check in, I jogged about a 1/4 of the track and stretched a little bit. Got to the start line about 6:15 and just waited until 6:30 arrived!

What would you do differently?:

Not sure I would do much different. The first half of the course was flat so my time reflected that. It just so happened the back was steeper and tougher hence my 7:51 pace on the latter 6.5 miles.

Performance: Good
Course: Course was nice and flat the first 6.5 miles, then once we hit Schifferstadt it got much more difficult. The gradual hills near Routzahn's and then on Monacacy set me back a little bit. Then got to Gas House and wanted to finish strong and pick up my pace a little bit and got blasted with some head wind that I wasn't expecting at all. That made for a tough ending! But I crossed the finish line under my goal pace. I was hoping to finish at a 7:49 pace and ended up at a 7:44, so I was pleased.
