Pre-race routine:

Got there in plenty of time, no gear to worry about just my race number. Light breakfast before leaving the house. Not really nervous, just there to have fun.
Event warmup:

About a 1/4 walk to the starting point, water, bathroom and stretching.

Comments:

The course was very congested for the first mile or so and then it began to spread out. Lots of ups and downs and muddy areas. Tried to conserve some energy for the return trip.
What would you do differently?:

Legs were a little tired from the long run Thursday night but overall, felt pretty good. Trail shoes would have been nice, the trail was very slippery in some places. Fell and received some scrapes to my left knee.
Post race
Warm down:

Lots of water, gatorade and a banana, just walked around and stretched a little. Walked slowly 1/4 back to the car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Legs were tired and I wasn't ready for the ups and downs, I should have checked out the course before hand. It was a good practice race

Event comments:

Good race, pretty small number of entrants, reasonable entry fee and gorgeous location.
