Pre-race routine:

Drove down, parked in the field at the front, rode the bus to the registration area and got my chip, walked to the start. Jogged to the bike trailhead bathroom, used the last TP (sorry if anyone came behind me). Jogged back to the start ~3 minutes before the gun.
Event warmup:

Jogging to the bathroom.

Comments:

Nice run. I've done it plenty of times before while training. I did see a poor woman around ½ mile from the 10K turnaround who was asking about where the 5K people had gone.
What would you do differently?:

Train more?
Post race
Warm down:

They ran out of water at the finish line by the time I got there. I understand more came later, but I just walked to the awards pavillion area to get the IHOP pancakes and sausage breakfast.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Biking and swimming instead of training just for running.

Event comments:

I left after having my breakfast and before they posted any times. Should have stayed around, as this would have been the first podium finish for me that didn't involve there being 3 or fewer people in my age group. Oh well. Even though I was hoping to go under 1 hour, this was still a 4 minute PR on a 10K, so I'll take it.

Performance: Good
Course: Straight out and back along the multi-use trail. Volunteers manning two water stops, the third was the usual cooler at the bench/picnic table unmanned. Water only, which was fine, but if I were doing the half mary I would have been disappointed at the lack of Gatorade.
Keeping cool Average Drinking Just right
