Pre-race routine:

Left about an hour early to get there on time only to find a street blocked off.
Event warmup:

Walked a quarter mile to the race start and stretched out a bit. Got there about 10 minutes before the gun went off so there wasn't too much waiting.

Felt fine the whole race, no real problems.
What would you do differently?:

Get closer to the front of the pack.
Post race
Warm down:

Got a banana, cookie, and a can of water, yes a can not a bottle.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Too many people in the way, first mile had to be somewhere around 10 minutes after trying to weave through everybody. Next time try and get closer to the front and not show up so close to the start of the race.

Event comments:

Fun, I'd do it again.
