Pre-race routine:

Nice short drive to event... which is nice considering I hadn't done any event previously that required less than a 2 hour drive.

Event warmup:

Ran across the parking lot a couple of times with my sister-in-law, who was racing as well. Probably should have done a little more slow tempo warm up, but I felt warmed up.

Comments:

The first mile sucked. It always does for me. After that, I got set on my pace and stuck to it. I forgot to start my watch at the beginning of the race and the race didn't start exactly at 8:00 AM, so I didn't know what my exact time was while I was running.

I wish I had, as I would have tried to push a little harder the last mile if I had known I was that close to going under an hour.

What would you do differently?:

Started my watch at the start of the race. I am actually pretty happy with my time. A few months ago I was thrilled to run a 5k with under 10 minute miles and pretty much hit the same pace on this 10k. I am starting to really like running.

Post race

Warm down:

Walked around, got some water and a banana. Found my sister in law who finished about 5 minutes before I did, then walked and found my wife and watched the parade.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

More long runs. More miles more often will make me faster. I felt like I gave a good effort.

Performance:	Good
Course:	Flat, on roads. This race is neat because it is on the main street of my hometown, right before a parade. It is fun to be able to run down the center of the road that is really busy during the day, plus the crowd that is gathering for the parade.
