Pre-race routine:

Carb loaded week prior, lots of water only a little bit of running. Concerned about IT band flaring up as it did in a half mary in may of 2011. got up that morning, had one cup of coffee, showered, small breakfast of 1/2 cup oats and some egg protein mixed in.

Event warmup:

lots of stretching and breathing exercises

Comments:

Felt good overall. I had a IT band to be concerned about and knew the last 5+ miles were very hilly so I tried to game plan to pace myself a little slower in the beginning at around 9 min/mile then pick up the pace towards the end of the race.

What would you do differently?:

push just a little more in the beginning.
