Pre-race routine:

Got up at 7 AM and had my usual breakfast of All Bran/milk/protein powder, and a banana, chased down by a Tim Horton's coffee. Got to the event around 8:45 AM and got organized.
Event warmup:

Not enough. I did a couple sprints on the sidewalk, and some minor stretching.
Run
  • 26m 47s
  • 3.11 miles
  • 08m 37s  min/mile
What would you do differently?:

START AT THE FRONT and warm up more. I got screwed again starting mid pack since they use gun time and not chip time. My chip time was 1:10 faster than the gun time....that's how long it took me to get through the gate. I have the chip time listed here as I feel that is my REAL time.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Bad starting position.

Great job!!  Don't worry so much about the gun time - your chip time is listed with the on-line the results on Sportstats.ca

We were so lucky to miss the rain!

It was nice meeting you prior to the race finally.  I see you beat your goal time.  I did as well.

Congratulations!
