Pre-race routine:

Race started a little later than a typical race at 10:00 am. Good thing because I did not go to sleep until around 3:30 the night before. I still have not figured out how to relax enough to fall asleep the night before a race.

Event warmup:

There was an indoor gymnastics area to stretch and warmup.

Felt pretty good and left nothing in the tank. Tried to pick it up for the last mile but there was nothing there. My goal was to maintain a sub 10MM pace. Got caught up in the moment and started out to fast at about 8:30. Settled down to 10 and caught my breath for a couple of miles. Once I got more comfortable picked it up and maintained 9:20 or so for the remainder.

Strange that we wore chips but there were no chip mats at the start. My Garmin measured the race at 10.09 miles with a time of 1:35:15. I guess I lost about 30 seconds at the start waiting for those in front to get going.

Walked to drink water at each of the stops at 6 and 8 miles. Roughly 6 oz at each stop.

What would you do differently?:

Not get so excited in the beginning and settle in to a pace a little quicker.

Post race

Warm down:

Started talking with family and such and forgot to to a post race stretch. I think I am a little stiff still because of it.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Skipped my last long run 2 weeks prior.

Event comments:

Look forward to doing this race again next year and breaking 1:25!
