Pre-race routine:

Comments:

Course was pretty nice. It wound through neighborhoods the whole way. Relatively flat with only a few gentle rises and descents.

What would you do differently?:

Pacing! I went out way too fast. It didn't seem like it, but I did the first mile in about 7:00. I held just over that pace for the first 3 miles. The 4th was a disaster. I think everyone around me slowed down as well and it ended up being about 8:00. I picked it up from there.

Post race

Warm down:

Not much. A little stretching and walking around.

Event comments:

Nice event overall. Plenty of volunteers, good route, good post race food and a fun band.
