Pre-race routine:

It was cold so I got there pretty early and just sat in the car to stay warm. Drank Gatorade and ate a banana/oatmeal/small bagel in the morning and had a Gu about 15 minutes before the start.

Event warmup:

Just stretched for a little before hand and took it slow (9 minutes) for the first mile or so.

Comments:

First 5 miles flew by as I was pretty distracted by the crowds and such. First got hard at about mile 8. Small wall at mile 10. Better after mile 11.

Warm down:

Stretched for about 20 minutes.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Limited training leading up to the race and the fact that I have a triathlon 7 days later so I didn't want to get hurt.

Event comments:

I'm pretty happy that I stuck with my pace and beat my goal by a minute. Good self control and a great first half experience!
