Pre-race routine:

Met Cville at his place, had a Cliff bar, drove over to the race. Ben got our race packets on Friday, so all we had to do was pick up our chips. Only took a minute since we got there at 5:30. Great parking and well before the lines got long.

Event warmup:

Jogged around the parking lot for about 2 minutes.

Comments:

Lined up near the front, started hard and held on for dear life. My goal was to break 25:00. If only I had run the corners a little closer, I might have saved those 2 seconds and broken 24:00.

What would you do differently?:

Nothing. New PR by 2 minutes.

Post race

Warm down:

Beer, wine, 1905 salad, black beans & rice, paella.

Event comments:

Best post race food anywhere. It's so worth the $5 more than most other races of this distance.

Thanks to the wonderful weather, PR's all around.
