Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 5:30, half a bagel with PB and a banana. Battled the nearly 2 hour drive in the pouring rain, only to find it was not raining at the race. Nice!

Event warmup:

Walk about a mile from my car to the start line, popped a Clif Gel, hit the porta potty and I was ready to go.

Comments:

For some reason, my calves tightened up at mile 2 in the run and they are still sore, almost 3 hours after the run. Maybe I needed to stretch them out more due to the cold. I am not sure. I certainly was not employing the ChiRunning principles during this run. It was tough for some reason and felt longer than the last 10K I did. Overall, I am pleased with the workout, but I really thought my time would be better.

What would you do differently?:

Stretch out the calves!

Post race

Warm down:

At least a 2 mile walk back to the car. The finish was a lot farther away than the start.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Could have been the 3 beers I had last night. :)

Course:	The course was relatively flat with a few little rollers as we travelled around Fiesta Island. This really would have been some beautiful scenery if not for the overcast and gloomy conditions.
