Pre-race routine:

Got to Carlsbad at 3pm the day before. Checked in, then went to the hotel and got a short run in before dinner. I got to bed around 8. My alarm for waking up at 3am to get some pasta in me didn't go off for some reason (stupid iPhone). Got up at 5am and went to the start line.
Event warmup:

Ran for about 10 minutes around the start line, 20 min before start

Comments:

Had a great run, no problems. The oranges around mile 22 were fantastic!!! I ran around the 3:35 to 3:40 group the whole time, anyone else around there?
What would you do differently?:

Longer Base Period, more training
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around the finish line area for 45 minutes looking for my family.
