Pre-race routine:

Bagel, cream cheese and hard-boiled egg about 2.5 hours before racetime.
Event warmup:

Got to race about an hour before start-time, got bag and number. Relaxed at the pub which served as race headquarters. About 25 minutes before race, headed to start line - about 10-15 minute walk.

Comments:

Did this as simply a training pace run for my marathon in April. Probably was a little faster than my marathon pace will be, but just a 5-mile run.
What would you do differently?:

Ran fine with Kerrin. Would've run faster if she did not want me to run with her, but heck, she will eventually pass me and I will be asking her to stay back and run with me someday!
Post race
Warm down:

Half-mile walk back to the pub that was also to serve food/drink after race. Stopped at a tent and had a 5-10 minute chiro session. That felt good to loosen up a bit.

Event comments:

Nice to have pasta, chili and drinks (water, soda, beer) after a race.

Performance: Average
First mile at about 8:30, the rest 10 minutes or so. Kerrin (15 yr old daughter) wanted me to run with her. So, I stayed with her the whole race. She has run faster (43+ minutes for 5 miles), but that was last fall when she was in training for cross country.
Course: A few hills up/down, but nothing major. Kind of scenic run around the water at Brockton's Park.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Just right
