Comments: I thought I pushed it. I am not fast and I am a Clydesdale so I could feel my feet poudning the pavement! My stomach problems went away and I just focused on my breathing. Yes this is not a marathon but it is still a long way for me! Though this was a small race there was plenty of pace booty. One woman in front of me would not let me pass. Which was fine, if you know what mean. I ended up beating her with a 1/2 mile to go. One father and son team would sprint past me and then walk for awhile and then do it again. I can't remember if they beat me but who cares. I was surprised that I finished under 26 minutes but I secretly wanted to. I was dying for some water but they had none until the the 2 mile mark or so. It felt good! I sprinted the lsst 1/10 mile and then laughed when I looked at my Garmin. My sprint is a normal jog for some people. Oh well at least no double stroller beat me! What would you do differently?: Nothing or maybe hit the bathroom at my house. Post race
Warm down: I was beat after the "sprint". Walked around to cool down and grabbed some water and a banana. Headed home! What limited your ability to perform faster: My 210 punds and old age! Event comments: I like this race. It is small so all the post-race events are limited or non-existent but it is close to my house, cheap, and fun! Hopefully next year my son will do the 1 mile race.

Woke up around 6 am. Couldn't sleep. Not nervous just over tired from spending two days building a swingset! Ate a banana and drank some Powerade. Stomach was acting up.
Nice thing about a local event is that you don't have to leave home until about a half hour before the event. Got there with plenty of time but the bathrooms were inoperable. Spent some time looking around the golf course and fields for a portapotty but no go. Suck it up!
