Pre-race routine:

Met up with Christa and her hubby and got our race packets, timing chips, just basically mingled in the crowd with our friends before the race start. We just happenned to run into Christa when we were getting our timing chips so we decided to start the race with her and hubby...she eventually left me and GyGy in the dust..but we started out together!
Event warmup:

Nothing really - moved into the race start about 5 min before start..made our way toward the front so we would not have a crowd to weave through as we got started. Got my mp3 player set for my running tunes..chatted with GyGy and Christa...

Comments:

This was a fun run...and to have the chance to run with the running queen herself...GyGy...made it that!! Last time we ran together in a race was Cooper River BR last year!! So this was a long over due opportunity to have a run with my coach and mentor!!! Good run..and we crossed the finish line together just like I told her we would!!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing..had a great time and run!!
Post race
Warm down:

Drank some Poweraide and went over to a message tent to have my hamstrings worked out a lil..they were kinda tight..and the massage therapist did exactly what I needed!! felt great...then after GyGy had her's we went inside the Atrium and grabbed some food.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing really besides the normal stuff, crowds, slower runners, and the hill factor...other then that it was nice...weather was perfect..nice cool breeze and no real heat issues...it was much better then last year!

Age Group: 62/130
Overall: 539/1696
Performance: Good
No HR data - I rarely wear mine anymore as I am accustomed to listening to my body...it tells me when I am pushin it too much now and since I have a solid base...I can judge when I am on target or not. I knew this was not going to be a placing run for me - it was all about fun factor and just enjoying it with GyGy..
Course: Uptown Charlotte..moderately hilly...but nothing really crushing...one hill was kinda of a pain but it was not long...it was not a bad course imho...
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
