Sunny

Total Time = 28m 48s
Overall Rank = 202/426
Age Group = 40-44
Age Group Rank = 0/

Pre-race routine:

Woke up early debating whether or not to go. Since my company sponsors a running team and pays the registration fee, I decided to go. Ate a Power Bar and some diet Coke

Event warmup:

I tried to stretch my calf as much as possible. It was really tight and throbbing.

Run

28m 48s
3.11 miles
09m 16s min/mile

Comments:

I was a good 2 minutes slower than last year. I just don't have it this year. I need to write it off. The course is easy with small inclines. I know if I push myself I can go faster.

What would you do differently?:

Lose weight, get faster.

Post race

Warm down:

Walked around. Ate a hot dog and some water, gatorade and Myoplex(?). Saw a woman from work chatted with her. Headed home.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Me, myself, and I

Event comments:

The pre-race ceremonies really get me. Anytime I hear Taps I choke up. Ran behind a veteran with a prosthectic. Very inspiring. Unfortunately I blew right by her.
