Pre-race routine:

Not much for pre-race routine since this was a glorified training run. Woke up at 6, breakfast (oatmeal w/blueberries & walnuts, "sausage" patty, 8 oz milk, 16 oz water) finished around 7:20, did some work around the house, and drove to race start at 9:15
Event warmup:

Checked in, got shoes on, used the bathroom, short 5 minute run to get the legs moving.

Comments:

Pretty much what I expected. I was hoping to set a PR, but knew that on a hilly course with at least 3 miles on dirt roads that were covered in snow and mud that the main goal of getting an early season HM in was more important that doing awesome. I am very happy with my time considering I wasn't training exclusively for this. I'm also happy to note that I had NO GI issues today! WooHoo!
What would you do differently?:

Nothing.

Warm down:

Water, sports drink, banana, shower, light stretching, copious amounts of food.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Early season race. Training focused on triathlon, not running. Hilly course and long muddy sections.

Performance: Good
Course: Lots of hills, two big hills, two good stretches on dirt roads that were messy and muddy from all the rain and snow we got this last week. This would be a good stretch to do some more training runs on before the Rhode Island HIM in July.
Keeping cool Good Drinking Not enough
