Wear a short sleeve shirt. Remember to bring my socks, gels, and bars with me rather than having to purchase them at the race. Oops.

Warm down:

Ate a banana, drank water and had a amino vital recovery bar. [Citrus flavor was not terribly appetizing but I was hungry].

Drank 2 beers in the Beer Garden and met up with Mike and some friends that did the 5K. I wouldn't normally drink beer immediately afterwards but they were offering Bass so it was hard to turn down.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

I'm very happy with my performance. The weather was perfect, the event was well organized and I finished strong. I think I finally ran a race the correct way with a strong negative split so I have no complaints. I'm sure some speed work would help the overall pace but this was a C race with the main event coming in April in Arizona.

Event comments:

This is a well organized and fun race. No complaints about the race.
