Pre-race routine:

Got up early, had some breakfast. Didn't feel all that peppy. Got to the race about 1/2 before the start, got my chip, chatted to some friends and did about a 10 min warmup. Said hello and good luck to Jane near the starting line. Then we were off.

Comments:

Got off to a good start and felt pretty strong until my head started to feel really, really hot.

What would you do differently?:

Maybe pace myself a bit more conservatively at the start to hopefully avoid the overheating. Hard to say as it was very humid out.

Post race

Warm down:

Walked around, drank some water and gatorade. Hung around for a while to cheer on some of my friends.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The humidity.

Event comments:

Really enjoyed the race although I wasn't really looking forward to it that much.
