Pre-race routine:

Up around 6:15, worked a bit (email, found a bug in the new laps graph). Had some coffee and a slice of banana bread then out the door. Beautiful morning.
Met Dud at the Park-n-Ride and he drove us to Frontier Field.
Event warmup:

We had a good 15 minute 1.7 mile warmup in 3 stages: 1 easy jog, 1 with pickups, 1 easy jog.

Comments:

Had an adrenaline rush about 20 seconds before the gun. I went out pretty quick, like 6:06 and then felt the surge go away around the .3 mile mark. Ow. After that it was just try to hang on and not let too many people pass me.

My pace did slow by around 10 seconds each mile, so I did go out a bit too fast. Either that or mentally I wasn't tough enough. Maybe a combination of the two.

Only my 2nd time going under 21 minutes, so I can't really complain.

A nice Father's Day event. Fast course. There's a Family 1k after the 5k.

Did this with Dudley. Go wish him a Happy Father's day. He's a really good Dad. One could go so far as to say that he's a mother of a Father.
