Pre-race routine:

Nothing unusual, got up 1 cup of coffee some fruit and dry cereal. Did a little stretching as I waited on my ride. Got to Tampa went into Convention center and stayed relaxed. Saw a few folks from Lakeland and chatted, got ourselves ready and headed out to the start area.
Event warmup:

Stretched and did a short warm up jog. Positioned myself with the 3:50 marathon pace group. Wasn't nervous just wanted to have a great day, I felt my training was right, I just needed to do it right.

Comments:

Everything went really well, hit my mile times just right, running out Bayshore was tough, but the same for everyone. Slowed my time a bit, but I have no complaints. Just tryed to stay relaxed running into the wind and finish strong.
What would you do differently?:

I"m not sure, I feel like I did what I was capable of doing.
Post race
Warm down:

Not much, got some nutriion, the rains and wind was picking up. My ride and I decided to go ahead and head home. Stretched some when I got home.

Event comments:

Great time and lots of activity, the expo on Saturday had some great buying opportunities, I wish I know this ahead of time. Next Year.
