Pre-race routine:

Up about 5:30 with Bueller. Made some oatmeal, one cup of joe, hopped in the car and headed out. Picked up the race packet, finished a small bottle of gatorade, then hung out a few.
Event warmup:

Just some light stretching and walking around.

Comments:

Was not expecting the back part to be so difficult. The last climb from about mile 8-10 took out all the remaining gas. Tried to pick it up at 10 for a strong finish and nothing left.
What would you do differently?:

Consider going out slower, but not sure. The first two miles are easy so probably good to get out strong. Need to conserve more on the hills perhaps.
Post race
Warm down:

Just some walking around, stretching, and re-fueling.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Had slight sore throat the week prior, probably a touch of something. Other than that probably just not sticking to my program and putting in the effort needed to train.

Course: Rolling hills through many subdivisions near the house and Sears Center. Was tougher than thought since I run most of the route all the time. The hills took their toll as you can see on the mile times.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right

Yeah...where did all those hills come from?  Enjoyed the post-race stretching/massages provided though.
