Pre-race routine:

Not enough time for a routine today! Grabbed an egg and piece of toast and rushed to Albany. Since I couldn't pick up my packet the day before, I was rushed to pick up my packet, get my non-racing stuff back to the car and then back again to the start line.
Event warmup:

Walking back and forth from the parking lot...

Comments:

The run felt pretty good actually, considering I was starting to get a cold. My chest was defintiely a little congested and it hurt to breathe by the end. Also, I didn't even cross the start line until 1:30 and couldn't do more than a fast walk until I got a block up Madison. If I had been able to run from the start my time would have been MUCH faster.
What would you do differently?:

Apparently, no one else lines up by the actual time they think they will finish in. Start up closer to the front next time!
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around trying to find my free cookies. I promised the kids I would "win" cookies to bring home to them.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The crowd, the crowd, the crowd... It's crazy!

Event comments:

There's no organization to the start. Staggered starting in heats would drastically improve the congestion. The race is relatively expensive - we shoudl be able to get a decent run out of it.

After the race, we had no idea where to go to get our stuff. I had to wait 45 minutes for my cookies!
