Comments: While this was a PR for me, I don't think that I did as well as I should have. I felt good through about mile 8, but was zapped out by then. Mile 12 was okay, mile 13 sucked.....sprint to finish. What would you do differently?: Not start out so fast.....first mile was 8:15, second - forth was 8:45, then dwindled down from there. Pee before race. This is race #2 where I've had to detour to pee. Post race
Warm down: Stuck around for about 5 minutes.....walked slowly to the truck then sucked down a recovery drink and headed to the house. What limited your ability to perform faster: They needed one more water stop.....other than that...it was all on me. Don't know what "limited" me...other than me. 3rd Half ever and improved every time. Event comments: This was a 'no frills' race, so the expectation of "post race activities" was not there. It cost $45 to run....you get a shirt and a finishers medal. Not bad at all. I will do a truston race again. Last updated: 2009-05-12 12:00 AM

Didn't get too good of a nights sleep the nights leading up to race....not nerves, just found myself watching crap on TV. Ate well the night before (rice and chicken) and made sure I drank a lot of water / powerade the night before.....to atleast go to bed hydrated
5 minute stretch (about 10 minutes too short), gu and shot blox 15 minutes before....topped off with powerade and water before. Should have gone to the bathroom before, but there were 5 port-o-potties and a line about 40 deep. Thought I would be fine....thought wrong.
