Pre-race routine:

Set my alarm to get up at 5:30a, but 0verslept. Woke up at 7a, got everything together and headed down to Atlantic Station. The weather was pretty bad, but good enough to do a 10K.
Event warmup:

Ran around the parking lot.

Comments:

I ran this course two years ago and completely forgot about the hill that was midway through.

I had a good run overall. I was hoping to get closer to the 50 minute marker, but with all things considered, I still PR'd with a 54:08. I did the first 2 miles in 16 minutes, so I was on track, but slowed down considerably from mile 4 to mile 5. Started to get a cramp.
What would you do differently?:

I wouldn't do anything differently.

Event comments:

This is the third time I've run this race in the past 5 years. Lots of fun, and I always seem to do well on the course.

Most importantly, I picked up some great schwag - 3 water bottles, 1 pint glass and 2 t-shirts. Can't complain about that.
