 Run
Comments: Ran into Matt at the start and we decided to run together. Neither of us had high expectations. Within a couple miles he decides we need to pick it up so we leapfrogged the race as he stopped for aid stations and I was carrying water. With 3 miles to go he catches me and we decide to go for it. He beat me -- soooo competitive ;) What would you do differently?: Absolutely nada. Who knew that wearing all new gear, doing new nutrition in a new carrier, after training for a mary without the weekly volume and doing walk/run on the long runs, and racing a du and doing a wicked hilly ride the weekend before, and a TT 4 days before and nothing else, would be such great race preparation!!! I'm very happy!  Post race
Warm down: Follow the crowd thru the food lines, get beer and hang out in the beer garden w/ Matt. A little stretching. Wandered around some more after he and his wife Vicky left. What limited your ability to perform faster: Speed work, extra 15# since Feb, but can't complain. Event comments: I will def do this race next year. Great fun! Last updated: 2009-12-01 12:00 AM

Got up @ 3:30 and farted around til 5. Got to the race by 5:45 with time to pee at a gas station nearby. Walked to the race and watched the marathoners start. Wandered around and used the porto potty. Tried to get back to my car to put my warm gear away but the route was blocked by marathoners so I jogged a bit and stretched and left my warm gear in my bag behind the coffee tent.
5 minutes jogging, some stretching, lots of walking around to stay warm.
