Pre-race routine:

Ate a nut and date bar, drove to the end of the course. Took the bus to the starting line, waited in line for port-a-potty, left just enough time to find my corral and do some stretching.
Event warmup:

Light stretching.

Comments:

I felt so great during this run. The temperature, flat course, and cumulative training I've done led to a PR (by 8 minutes!!!) in the half mary.
What would you do differently?:

Absolutely nothing!
Post race
Warm down:

Nothing much, tried to walk around, stretch, eat/drink everything in sight while I waited for my mom to finish (she also came away with a PR!).

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing really. Started the race fast, and kept the pace up for the full 13.1 miles. The race stats break down your splits for each quarter of the run and I somehow managed to keep a VERY steady 7:42 min/mile until the last quarter where I kicked it in at 7:36! For me, this was by far my best-executed race yet.

Course: Fairly flat. Uses main arterials until you get to Lake Washington Blvd. This is a fun section to run because it's quite beautiful! Follow I-90 trail to the tunnel, then head on the freeway to Qwest Field.
