Pre-race routine:

Had typical breakfast of coffee, juice, bagel & cream cheese, hard-boiled egg.

Event warmup:

To complete a contest at local YMCA, ran 2.8 miles there at 7 am in about 22 minutes (8 min/miles). Went home to shower and then get ready for this race. A little stretching inside, but since raining did not do too much prior to race.

Comments:

Kerrin (15 year-old) daughter also ran. Shaddowed her for first mile and typical early race congestion, in about 8:20. After that, pretty much ran just off her left shoulder at 8:55-9:00 min/mile pace. Finsihed together, which was kind of cool.

What would you do differently?:

Had fun running with Kerrin, so nothing.

Post race

Warm down:

Walked a bit, then Marathon Sports was there and they helped me stretch post-race.

Event comments:

Good and plenty of food at end. Water at end, just no water on course - which I could've used a little along the way.

Performance:	Good
Course:	5 miles thru cranberry bogs. Ran made the footing a little more difficult, but a nice surface to race on - no auto traffic, and a forgiving running surface. Did not see any water stations on race course - would've expected at least one?
