Pre-race routine:

Woke up at 515 and had a cheese bagel and water. Got dressed and headed down to the race and ate a gel

Event warmup:

Walk down and some stretching

Run

Comments:

Good run. Broke my goal time. Felt comfortable throughout the race, I think I held a good pace/effort throughout.

What would you do differently?:

Practice a little bit more on downhill running. I find it a bit difficult to just let myself go down te hill without bracing which slows me down.

Post race

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Descending skills. Fine uphill and was strong at the end

Event comments:

Bit chaotic at the finish line because the finish shoot was a bit narrow and the space for post race food and chilling was a bit small.
