Pre-race routine:

The race was at 7pm so after getting off work and then going to chiro I had to pretty much rush over to Grant Park. Just did some light stretching, that's all.
Event warmup:

No warm up....just stretch a little.

Comments:

First of all my foot is still hurting and I haven't run since FL70.3 and planned not to run this too hard. With that said, once I started my ankle felt alright so I pushed the pace a bit and when I came to the mile 2 marker (the only marker) the time was 12:35 so I was freakin' out...I may go under 20min! Well, the next 1.1mi seemed like the longest 1.1mi ever. It ended taking me another 10min from mile 2 to the finish. So either the mile 2 marker was short or the course was long because I for sure didn't slow down to a 9:30-10min/mi. I pretty much kept my pace until the end and it definitely felt much faster than a 22:24, but oh well it's no big deal really since I signed up for this on a whim and American Airlines (my employer) picked up the race fee.
What would you do differently?:

I'm probably going to need some more time off of my foot so what I would do differently is if I'm sure a run is going to irritate an injury...I'll back off.

Warm down:

Stretch and long walk to the car.

OK, so I just looked at the website and it says it is a certified 3.5mi course...that changes things!  I updated the race report numbers.
