None whatsoever. Got up at 8am, ate a Honey Stinger Waffle, then drove the 15-20 mins over to Tyler, registered, and lined up to run. Pretty cool.

Comments:

Tough run, with the third and fourth kilometers mostly uphill, including one very steep section that actually forced me to walk for 30 seconds. I need to do some training runs over there...never even set foot in that park over the last six years...would probably be a great place to run.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing at all...this was totally for fun and to see what I could do. It hit me, though, as I was running in the first five or so minutes, that this was the first time I'd run since the little 5K I ran two weeks ago. So I basically did this one on nothing but whatever fitness base I had leftover.

Warm down:

Walked around, grabbed a water, and had...two donuts!!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Hills and fitness.

Event comments:

They actually had on-course water this time around. Didn't have that two weeks ago. I didn't take any, though, and didn't see anybody else stop either.
