Pre-race routine:

Same breakfast as everyday. I try to stay with what my system is used to.

Warmed-up by walking 1 mile up the hill from parking to race start... that worked. Then did some running around the start area to get the juices flowing.

Comments:

Felt good throughout the race. Went out conservatively. Sped up a little throughout the race. I tried to meter my exertion level to keep near the limit without going over.
What would you do differently?:

No regrets, very happy with the effort. Train harder!
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:

Training. I need to put in more miles running. Over-all, I am happy with the results given my current level of training.

Event comments:

Very nice race. Low-key, but very well run and organized. This race could be a real mess, because there's really no parking to speak of. The race (along with Subaru) provided a shuttle service which worked well. There were some lines for food and toilets. They probably could have used 4 time as many porta-poties, but then is there ever enough?
Classic race, I will be back.
