Pre-race routine:

Warm shower. Dressed in layers for varying temps. Banana and granola cereal with Perpetuem. Got to start early to get a good parking spot and stake out a place in the gym. It was cold and frosty, but warmed up by start time. Munched on a Kashi bar and drank water and gatorade. Packed two goos and some Endurolytes. Played with the layers of clothing until it felt right.

Event warmup:

Light stretching and a light jog 45 min before the start. Jogged to starting line.

Comments:

Went out a little fast, but surprised myself with the gas left in the tank going up the hills and bringing it home.

What would you do differently?:

Start closer to the front. I had to dodge a lot of runners the first mile. Could probably have taken more water at the stops, and one more goo.

Warm down:

Walked back to gym and got warm. Stretched some and got into dry clothes.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

The hills.
