Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 4:30AM. Had some breakfast (oatmeal with blueberries). Got a nice hot shower, dressed, and ready to go. Fixed myself an EFS drink and headed to the Fairgrounds with the wife.

Event warmup:

Arrived at 5:50PM. Jogged a nice warm up for about 15 minutes and felt really loose and ready to go.

Comments:

I felt really solid throughout today. Nice, comfortable pace. My first 6 miles were at a steady 7:28 pace and from that point on I picked it up a bit and felt even better. Last year I started too fast and faded, this year I started just right and ended faster.

What would you do differently?:

Maybe push it a bit earlier. However this year I used this race as a training run rather than push at race intensity and still came out feeling great.

Warm down:

Ate a ton of food, stayed hydrated, and then stretched when I get home for about 25 minutes.
