Pre-race routine:

Typical bagel, cream cheese and hard boiled egg. Also coffee.
Event warmup:

Drove down to Bourne with Linda, Matthew and Sean (from CRR). Hung out inside the Weary Traveler building; stretched inside, and finally went outside about 10 minutes before start of race.

Comments:

Started out pretty fast (about 7:30 minutes) for first mile, and then settled in closer to 8:30-8:45 miles.
What would you do differently?:

Ran nicely for the day. Did not push myself extremely hard, nor did I want to for this day and race.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked about 1/2 mile to find Matthew (still on the course). Had clam chowder and clam cakes - after race meal. Even read somewhere that clam/seafood chowder is a good and healthy post-race meal.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Ice in few areas on course.

Event comments:

Took a while to get race results at end. Unusual in that most races have results being printed and posted fairly quickly at conclusion of race.

Performance: Good
Noted here my actual time (41 seconds fater than 'official' time), and mileage on this day (since course shortened to avoid ice at start/finish line).
Course: Some minor hills to go up & down. Just past half-way point was a 100-yard stretch of rad nearly complete ice; also where water stop was. At this point, and a few other assorted patches of road, care had to be taken to avoid falls.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
