Pre-race routine:

This was an evening run that started at 9pm. I ate a light dinner around 6pm which consisted of melon and some egg whites.
10 min before the start I drank about 100 cal of gatorade (~10oz)
Event warmup:

Jogged for 10 minutes and did a few strides.

Comments:

I carried a water bottle filled with Gatorade with me. Drank every 10 minutes or whenever a water station came up. I also took my device to alert me every 10 minutes to take a 15 second walk break, which is when I drank from my bottle.
What would you do differently?:

I kicked into higher gear at mile 11. In retrospect, I should have waited until mile 12. I ran out of gas around mile 12 and slowed my pace by a full minute at the end.

Warm down:

Walk around the finish area, drink water, gatorade, ate anything salty I could find. I was craving salt!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Nothing. This was a great race.
