Pre-race routine:

Routine? I don't need no stinkin' routine. Things probably would have gone better if I had realized the race started at 8:15 instead of 8:30. In any case, we had 15 seconds to spare coming from the bathroom before the horn sounded.

Event warmup:

Peeing in the port-a-john.

Run

1h 21m 35s
7.46 miles
10m 56s min/mile

Comments:

Nice course. Tons of volunteers cheering you on at just about every intersection. Water stops more frequent than necessary (~every 1½ miles), but no gatorade?

What would you do differently?:

Train, get there on time, etc.

Warm down:

Hang out at the pier for a little bit, enjoy the food (very nice beans and rice), Klondike bars.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

See "What would you do differently?"

Event comments:

Great race. I'd recommend it to anyone.
