 Run
Comments: Followed the advised that my running coach told me to follow. Started slower pace so that I would be able to finish strong. Felt really good. Kept descent pace and then slowed a little down since it was a long climb on the course. Then was able to negative split the second half of the run course, and I felt really good. Used my fuel belt so that I could hydrate when needed, and only drank about 3X on the course. Waited till I reach the second turn for my first drink. What would you do differently?: Not much since I followed direction from coach. This was a baseline. Also, I now know that I can go faster next time, since I finished feeling so strong. Felt like I probably could of gone twice around that loop and done a 10K. Good run overall, and felt good.  Post race
Warm down: When done, had to head out to car which was 1/2 a mile away. Parking was limited. This really allowed me to cool down my legs, and when got to car, just stretched it out. What limited your ability to perform faster: Nothing. Just continue training and inproving the cardio for longer distances on the run. Event comments: Didn't use the drinking station since I wanted to not have to depend on them from previous experiences. So for my race, since I was self dependant, I was just perfect on the water/fluid status. Last updated: 2008-08-12 12:00 AM

Ate some wheat bread with some fat free butter on top. Also had a glass of milk, some blueberries, and an Endurance Power Bar, chocolate flavor.
Got there, did some stretching, and then actually went and ran about 1/2 mile nice and easy to warm up. Then headed to the starting line with my wife. She was there just to watch. Also tested the Garmin during warm-up so that I could learn and figure out how to read it. All good and ready to have fun.
