 Run
Comments: Run felt surprisingly good, considering I didn't think I was ready. I had a (what I thought was a) modest goal of under 30 min, considering I ran a 33+ 5K back in November. But as my training progressed, I was shooting for a sub 28. What would you do differently?: Not work the night before and get more sleep. Slept for 4 hrs...not good.  Post race
Warm down: Walked for about 30 minutes, waiting for wife to finish Half Mary. Ate a banana and had a beer. What limited your ability to perform faster: Lack of sleep. Worked Saturday night. Got home about 2am and had to be awake at 6. Event comments: I guess the other races I've been involved in were over and above, but this race was very unimpressing. There was no build up to the start of the race, just a "3,2,1...GO". Some people were still in line for the bathrooms and didn't even realize the race had started. Traffic was a mess getting to the race. Not impressed, will not run this event again. Last updated: 2011-01-13 12:00 AM

Ate a banana and stretched a great deal. Not the warm-up I wanted, but bad planning and a tremendous lack of sleep will put you behind the eight ball. My wife and her best friend ran the Half, and this was their A Race, but for me...I just wanted to get my 5K time down to see where my progress was at for my first TRI in June.
