Post race
Warm down:

Went to registration table and handed in time card. Grabbed some water and gatorade and waited for friends to finish. Chatted about the race and upcoming events.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I need to be in better shape and looser

Event comments:

It would be nice if it were a closed coarse, but that's not going to happen. A good race if you want a small tune up race.

Performance: Good
Went out with 7:20, followed by 8:54, followed by a 8:24. After the first mile, my lower back and IT band tightened up completely, but continued on. Had to stop for about 20 seconds before mile 2 but saw Becca cheering so I pushed on for the final mile. I heard a lot of people coming up from behind me, but didn't have the strength to go faster. Heart Rate was peaked!
Course: Just an out and back through Christine. A little hilly, with lots of curves. A good race course, but the road is not closed off so you have to dodge cars, luckily it's not that busy.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
