Pre-race routine:

This race was a 5:45 pm (evening) start. Had a good breakfast, but had private ice time from 12:10-1:30 for skating. Thus, eating pre-race was not normal. Had a couple of energy chews and some Gatorade.

Event warmup:

The was a chiro there, so got stretched a bit and a little work on my left knee. I banged my knee playing hockey earlier in the day.

26m 56s
3.11 miles
08m 40s min/mile

Comments:

Did a good opening mile; so that means that I can get back to the sub-8 pace. Just having trouble sustaining the pace. Matthew caught me at at 1.5 mile mark, and beat me again (now 6 of last 7 he has beaten me). Kerrin took an award for 3rd female "19 and under" which was great.

What would you do differently?:

Take a little off my opening mile pace to try and be more consistent throughout the run.

Post race

Warm down:

Walked around, and quickly drank down a water - humid night.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Not really 'getting' my pace down yet since all my Marathon training.

Event comments:

Was a fun and well-run race. Lots of 'door prizes' also after awards ceremonies.
