Pre-race routine:

Couple bowls of cereal, 2 cups of Joe.

Stretch, jogged around for about 10 minutes trying to stay warm. The day before it was 80 degrees, but raceday was freezing. Waited till the last possible minute to shed my sweats before running over to the start line.

Comments:

Started out with the eventual winner & a few others. After about the first 3/4 mile the winner took off. Ran with 2 others till one dropped off & the other dropped me. Someone else caught me & ran off. I think place 2 thru 4 finished within 13 seconds. The wind was pretty strong on the return to the finish. I knew it wasn't going to be a PR.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing. Very satisfied with the Overall Male Masters Win.
